Car &Driver - Apple CarPlay vs. Android Auto
Saw this article on Car and Driver this morning and thought I'd share, since this is often a very hot topic on CL. I haven't used either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, so I found the article interesting. It's a short and very high level review of both systems:

But both of these systems reduce distraction by reducing usefulness. As much as they promise phone mirroring, they don’t really work like your phone.
That leaves the ability to beam navigation to the car’s screen (provided the car lacks factory nav) as the most notable reason to use CarPlay or Android Auto. Even then, Google Maps is strictly compatible with Android Auto while CarPlay is stuck with the crummier Apple Maps. Waze and its critical cop-locating feature isn’t compatible with either, so you’ll still be staring at your phone to use this popular driver’s tool.
