I spent about a year and a half with Windows phone before returning to android late last year. There are 3 things I miss about my 1020. The camera (duh), insane battery life, and hands free voice control.

There was no need to physically interact with the phone at all in the car. Someone texts, I can respond aloud to either read or ignore and then give a reply if I choose. With android, I still cannot find a way to do this without first having to touch something on the phone, essentially eliminating the safety of it. This is pretty disgusting in 2015 on a platform that is dominating the world.

To my knowledge the Moto X has this ability though I'm not familiar with it in detail, but if it does, shouldn't this be something that is software based and thus can be ported? Why hasn't there been greater focus put into it as a stock android feature? How many millions of people out there own android phones and drive Bluetooth equipped vehicles, or even use headsets etc?

The research I've done has left me without answers. If you know of any apps or ways to achieve true hands free Bluetooth voice control on android, please comment with details.
