<article> <section class="page"> <p>Most of the infotainment systems that come with cars are terrible. Voice recognition feels like it’s from the 1980s, and the navigation scheme would fail most usability tests.</p><p>Android Auto was supposed to fix that. Problem is, automakers have been driving in the slow lane when it comes to actually building it into their cars. So Google opted to take matters into its own hands and update Android Auto to operate in a standalone mode that lets you <a href="http://www.greenbot.com/article/3138815/android/android-auto-gets-rid-of-that-pesky-car-requirement.html">run it on your phone</a>.</p><p>Android Auto is quite good, and genuinely improves the in-car experience. If you’re tired of having a dumb car, or just frustrated that your smart vehicle isn’t that brainy, here’s why you should get revved up with Android Auto.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3192169/android/drive-smarter-and-safer-with-these-android-auto-tips.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here</a></p></section></article>
