Holy crap I feel old now. Since when? I'm still driving a car without a touch screen, and that's never going to change.

I'm not sure how long.

My older car (2012 Mazda 3) didn't have a touch screen. I replaced the radio with a touch screen Pioneer one that supports Android Auto. I'd definitely recommend doing that! It's nice having Google Maps on an older car. The third-party radios tend to be better than the OEM ones (they have to be, otherwise nobody would buy them) and I don't think Pioneer does data collection of any sort.
