        They enabled ot by default. I use the satellite view and was shocked when the ui changed unexpectedly.

        The point to me is more: dont change my settings without asking me. If I was using the default, fine, but i wasnt.

    All this really does is consume a little more data and clutters the screen more.

    I’d much rather the android auto team work on having as many voice commands as possible be offline and on-device, so I’m not waiting 10 seconds for it to communicate with Google servers after I say “yes” to confirm something.

    Ah, yeah, but then Google won’t get my voice data. Silly me.

      You know what, maybe instead of this, they could work on telling me a quarter mile out that I need to change multiple lanes instead of probably when I’m 10 feet out.

      But no, let’s have a 3D building, so I can land my car on the roof.
