Google's killing off another auto product, but you won't probably miss it

Although Android Auto is probably how you interact with your smartphone while driving — maybe even wirelessly — it's far from the only car-friendly toolset Google's built over the past decade. In addition to Android Auto for phone screens (dead), Assistant Driving Mode (dead), and Android Automotive (alive!), the company also tried its hand at accessories that put hands-free Assistant in any vehicle, regardless of its age. Six years after the initial push, though, Google is looking to pull the plug on those voice-activated gadgets for good, and it's hard to be surprised.
