Same, although most of the time, at least cops, accept a photo of the actual ID card/driver license where I live (Romania), at least it worked the last time I got pulled over.
I was actually quite surprised when I saw that I could connect my car to HA and that the integration was fully featured, with a lot of stats and entities exposed.
I didn’t have time to make much use of it, but I’m still quite sad to see it go. It was nice to be able to glance at the current range, tire pressure, and overall status right from home.
The same stats will be available in the application but, with this gone, we are again, an internet that is even more closed and fenced.
> Google Maps seem like just another ad platform, for companies to pay if they want to be shown in higher zoom levels.
I know, mostly that's my pet peeve as well and I guess I got trained to see through the noise. It is the last Google product that I am struggling to get rid off.

Where is that?
I am slowly trying to get move to OSM backed apps and hoping to put in the effort as a mapper/contributor as well.
I've been trying really hard to get off Google Maps and almost managed to do it, but one thing that Google Maps offers and the others are not even close (at least for me) is discoverability.
For example if I am out riding some trails and then I want to pop out of the wilderness to grab a bite only Google has been able to provide good information of whats nearby (reviews help a lot as well).
Other than that I've been switching between OsmAnd and Gaia GPS (and Garmin built in device maps).
I also cannot help myself but look down at people that don't use it, shoelace normies.
