Seems like all the car manufactures are failing to learn all the lessons that Google and Apple have learned about touch screens and voice interfaces.
What's worse is whatever your phone of choice is, it's likely to know a HUGE amount more about your. Your contact list, what you searched on recently, tickets you bought, public transit research, etc. So instead of say "Navigate to Joe Random" you end up hunting and pecking at a terrible on screen keyboard with a terrible touch interface that doesn't even allow multitouch or swipes. God forbid you change your mind underway.
Distractions can cause lives, and car manufacturers are doing worse than Apple/Google. The easiest fix seems like it would be mandate that car manufacturers allows users to choose their navigation system.

- WalterBright 8y agoI have a patent on using morse code to text people on the phone rather than a keyboard. The idea is so you can text without looking at the phone. A rocker switch is added to the edge of the phone, up is dit and down is dah. I coulda been a billionaire! :-)
