Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority When I hop into my car, there is a list of checklist items I absentmindedly tick off. One is reaching for my cheap Android Auto dongle in my glovebox and plugging it in. Google’s in-car phone mirroring service has become essential to my car trips, as much as fuel, a seat belt, and a steering wheel.
