Android Automotive (again, different than android auto) is very Customizable by manufacturers.
With the ability to integrate mature maps, AI and apps with core car & infotainment systems I think these car companies will be able to focus on other enhancements to getting a stable product launched.

A few years ago, creating your own infotainment system was a good idea since large touch screen support and system integrations were missing. I am just not seeing this being necessary now.
When I am in the car market again, I hope that this is one area that Rivian improves.
My MDX Type S comes with Alexa and it is a disaster and the "Here" maps suck, but luckily I have wireless android auto and that superbly meets my needs (it also supports the talk/command button or just saying the "Hey Google" wake word)
