Will there ever be such a thing? I know that you can use your phone on a mount, but having your phone integrated into your dash screen, steering wheel buttons, etc. Is a big convenience and I also think safer.

Would a drop in replacement be possible? Or would a whole new app need to be developed and integrated into every car manufacturer?

This is one google app that I still heavily rely on, unfortunately. I'm sure they are harvesting everything about me as I drive.

I remember my uncle just buying a cheap android tablet and flashed some image on it he found on a Russian website. He connected it with a USB cable to the car somehow, he mentioned it's connected to the CAN bus and he could get some information from the car into that tablet.

But what you are asking is a bit different, you want to have the phone ui on the car, for that, it's a bit more difficult.
