Decoupling the computer from the car is fantastic and I wish more cars (and TVs...) became more dumb:
It's cheaper, better for the environment, more upgradable, more customizable, etc...
- Pxtl 7y agoUntil the car is too old and the app is either upgraded to be no longer compatible with the car or abandoned and becomes no longer compatible with modern phones. Android APIs change a lot over time.
- joosters 7y agoI've never heard of fuel gauges being particularly damaging to the environment. Sure, let the car stereo connect to my phone so I can play my music if I want. But don't take away simple, basic, essential functionality and lock it in a phone app that I will have to trust/hope will continue to be supported for as long as I own the vehicle.
