A few years ago Apple said that 95% of car buyers want CarPlay based on some industry survey. I’m actually surprised 9 to 5 Mac got a number as low as 80%. Tesla is the only real brand to be able to get away with it, and I suspect a lot of that is because they were the only big electric car brand for a long time (people never seemed to consider the volt/bolt or leaf). Rivian is trying the same thing, but they’re very small. I’m not sure about other relatively small manufacturers like Lucid. Of the major brands it’s now Tesla, who is slightly special and has good developers, and GM. Against the entire rest of the industry. They’re doomed.
