> Why on earth I would want my car to take over the full functionality of my phone is beyond me. Because it's probably required by law and for good reason - just like the Bluetooth systems disallow visually reading texts. > The only potential advantage The other one is that you are not endangering children and other humans alike while fiddling on a tiny phone screen.

Stop the scaremongering and assumptions. Your jumping to conclusions does nobody any favors, and it ignores a whole host of safe and legal uses of a cell phone while it is plugged into a car. I'm not sure how/why it would be required by law-- I could watch netflix on my cell phone while driving and have the audio stream over bluetooth if I wanted to; I don't see how CarPlay/AndroidAuto changes the legal framework here. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just not sure HOW. Could even just be something so simple as fear of liability I guess. But again, the bluetooth example comes to mind.
