Succulently put.

Purchasing a new car recently, and the Polstar 2 which I liked the look of was taken off my shortlist the femtosecond that I learned it came with Android automotive.

Google's track record is appalling. This is somewhat okay if you're getting it "for free" (yes yes, "you are the product", I know), but it's wholly unacceptable if I'm paying for it and I risk Google weaseling out of updates after a couple of years.

Not sure if it's your cup of tea, but fair phone just announced that they're committing to supporting the fair phone 5 with 8 years of updates
