    So like, you create a sandboxes profile for Google and log into that in your car and use android auto, get to your destination and switch back?

      Kinda but you have 3 profiles active at once:

      • owner
      • work
      • private

      So google just lives in one and the others are clean. From a usage perspective it’s seamless

        🤩

        How long does it take to switch between profiles? Or am I still misunderstanding since you said they all are active at once? So like each of those profiles are available at the same time, but are sandboxed from each other?

          each of those profiles are available at the same time, but are sandboxed from each other?

          Correct. For the three special profiles, they’re all active at the same time, you can use them like you would any other app. They’re just isolated from each other.

          Gos also has other user profiles, where you have to swipe down and swap users, those are more cumbersome, but more isolated. But for daily driving, you have three profiles you can use simultaneously, at the same time, no login, no log out, and they’re isolated from each other

          For instance, you can have two versions of WhatsApp running at the same time, one in each profile, and they can’t see each other, but you can swap between them like any other two apps.
