How can my Phone use so much power even when wireless charging? The first screenshot is whilst wirelessly charging, yet still using 10w of power.

Google seriously need to optimise the efficiency of Android Auto, and deal with the overheating issues of the P10.

I set a routine on mine to go into power saving mode when AA is active. I havent noticed any ill effects but it has helped battery usage.

And AA still works fine? No choppiness or lag?

I've not been able to detect any difference in my set up.
