Nothing like the feeling of helplessness when you are stopped at a light and you see someone coming up behind you staring at their lap. Nowhere to go, hoping you don't get rear ended.
Before I put the car in drive these days, I make sure Android Auto is connected and working then I just throw my phone in the console. If I'm in my jeep I just leave the phone in my bag as it's too loud and windy to use it anyway.
