I definitely don’t want that.
I also sense lack of imagination. There’s no way Rivian will build native apps for everything I use CarPlay for. They might be able to create a passable maps and music app, but I can’t imagine it surpassing what already exists on most phones.
- quantified 5mo agoFor all those apps, sign in on your car? Every time you start it, otherwise your teenagers use your accounts? Not appealing.
- Barbing 5mo agoWould have per-driver accounts like Tesla, right? (Privacy nightmare when thinking of every car someday requiring logins—very convenient! though)
- quantified 5mo agoCould be done, but either PITA or privacy nightmare or both. Key fob isn't your token, needs to be something else. Your fingerprint? And it won't be using your apple apps, no way apple lets those just show up.
