Now you could rock a wireless charging setup but that's not very universally supported and it's still likely to have most of the downsides of plugging your device in.
What will probably happen before that is just a wider adoption head units that are more like smart phones. Either by having android running on it directly or an alternative like the potential of the open linux infotaiment systems that Toyota is headlining.
It's just unlikely you'll have much success with wireless AA with current battery/phone tech being very popular when you just have to plug in after using it because your phone is dead. Much more convenient to charge it while it's doing nothing in the car anyway (current setup).

Wireless charging is a joke too, what phones fit? I have a GalaxyS8 and it doesn't fit with or without a case.
It would be so nice if the mfgs could see their way to collaborating on a standards based set of capabilities, dimensions etc so that the aftermarket can drive innovation that the auto companies just can't do.
