Manufacturers have caught on, hence the arrival of data packages, services packages to cover navigation and real time traffic, and BMW even charges to connect your Car Play. So fully expect manufacturers to find a way to profit off the car long term and expect more to eventually lock out Carplay/Android auto as revenue will be their first choice not paying Apple to use car play. dealers will end up consolidating and there is easily one generation if not two still to be had doing service for petrol cars and related needs. dealers may morph into on demand rental hubs and the like. now oem and after market parts companies of which I work for are going to have to scramble a bit. the heavy duty market will be a refuge for awhile.
