I'm genuinely curious, what makes NFC a necessity? And what do you mean by auto?

    I might just be old, but I can do that with my debit and credit cards without involving my phone, so I couldn't care less.

    I don't carry a wallet, and card contactless is limited to like 50. Can't even do the weekly shop.

    Android Auto for driving is difficult to get working, I see gOS can do it but I couldn't get it to work.
