Why can't we have a car that only has:
(a) a standardized mechanism for attaching and powering your phone on its dashboard (think a "mini VESA mount" with options for USB/wireless charging)
(b) bluetooth HID-compatible physical controls on the steering wheel and/or center console so you don't have to reach for your device
(c) a minified car "radio" that only offers AM/FM radio and bluetooth audio connectivity
All other controls should be physical, copied straight out of a 90s/00s car.

These are 3 totally different classes of products, with different development/support costs, and pricing orders of magnitude apart. - A new car is an O($10k) investment. - A TV is an O($100) investment. - A monthly app subscription is typically O($1).
