They already do unless you delve into your Android menu

The flip side of this leads to Google maps traffic and Waze being supremely up to date with traffic speeds and delays which has saved me hours

And in another 5 years someone will realise all you really need is a dock for your phone in the car. No cables, no connecting, no bluetooth just plug in & go. Most phones will do every function of an inbuilt system & more. Why have yet another device that you connect to?
