Comment on Google Assistant car mics might be shutting down soon

Why on earth did they make these when they already had several automotive solutions that worked direct from the phone? This is such a dumb product.

For the same reason your car’s mic is usually above the driver’s sun visor area and not in the center console.

It’s literally pictured here right in the center of the console though.

They said your car’s mic, not the Google one. The car’s mic generally is on the driver’s side and the Google one is better for use with passengers because it’s centrally located.

The Google mics they are talking about were adapters that were plugged into the ac cigarette lighter.
