I hate most cars' infotainment.
I still absolutely don't want CarPlay or Android Auto to become the default. Should they become the arbiters of what I can and cannot do in my car? Should I be beholden them for features, or which apps they allow in their walled garden?
Today I can vote with my money, choosing a car that fits me. If they all become the same, it's a monopoly.
- saagarjha 20d agoJust don't use CarPlay then?
- matsemann 19d agoWeird argument. "Just don't use <any big tech necessary to function in society>" doesn't really hold. You can choose now, but what when you must use one of those, because no one cares about the built in system anymore, so it's neglected or even just covering the basics?
- saagarjha 18d agoI don't see how you are required to use CarPlay to function in society
- chews 20d agoBoth CarPlay and Android Auto are second screens to your phone... they're just "Airplay" streaming a simpler interface.
