Re: Upgrade older xc40 software with Android Auto from Recharge version
Hey m@rk, that’s an interesting take. And of course I’m sure most Volvo customers would trust Volvo vs Google. For privacy, autonomy, safety and what not. That said, I really wish Volvo completely owns/controls the OS just like Tesla. Huge benefits and use cases in Autonomy and control. (Maybe a cus...
