email and android auto

[JIM444]

I know android auto will alert you to new text messages and gives you the option to listen and respond to them. Is it possible to do the same with email? I'd like to make the most of my commute by catching up on all my email.

No, email is not part of what's available with Android Auto - messaging is limited to texting and instant messaging.

Any hope that email support will be added?

You could write code to take incoming email's subject and text it to yourself...

Most carriers provide an email address for sending SMS. Why not setup a forward to it?

I totally agree with this. IMO Android Auto cannot be considered "mature" until it can manage email over voice. There is also a lot of other missing feature, but this one is pretty sad. For a system that should improve security, well, without email management, it does not.
