Integrate Ace LTE and Ace app with Android Auto

Its absurd that the Ace app does not have Android Auto support. When I child calls and you're in the car, the call can not be answered without unlocking and answering the call from the Ace app. This is needlessly dangerous and illegal in some states. This is a Google product focused on safety. It should have SEAMLESS integration.
This is needed because:
Answering calls and/or messages requires using the phone directly. As an Android product, It should 100% have Android Auto support / integration. Answering calls and messaging while driving is unsafe and ILLEGAL in many states.
I'd use this: Daily

This does seem like a giant oversight -- one which I had not realized myself until recently. 

My phone starting ringing while I was driving, and nothing popped up on my dashboard to answer the call. As I fumbled with the phone to see what was going on, I realized that the call was coming from the Fitbit Ace app, and I had no way of answering it via Bluetooth or the Android Auto Integration in my car dash. 

How this got by the product team and/or quality control is beyond me. For a product that is focused on safety and being able to communicate with your child, I can't imagine how nobody ever questioned how someone would respond to an incoming call or message while driving.  Being a Google/Fitbit product, you'd think Android Auto support might be top of mind. I guess that's asking too much. Maybe this product team needs to get a group of parents together for a focus group. Because the current team has been missing the mark across the board on very simple, practical issues with this product.
