- CharlesW 26d agoThe nice thing about phone projection (Android Auto, CarPlay) is that the tech remains in your phone, in contrast to Android Automotive OS.
- somehnguy 26d agoThat not an option in modern vehicles. You can either have good tech or bad tech - not no tech.
- HDBaseT 26d agoI'm yet to see a modern car with "good tech", the options tend to be: - Mediocre tech at best. - Awful tech at worse.
- preg_match 26d agoThat’s where CarPlay comes in, the tech doesn’t matter. Your phone has good navigation right? Good messages, good music. So just use that. Then it doesn’t really matter how awful the car infotainment is. Even “good” infotainment (tesla) is inferior to CarPlay in many ways, because it’s not your phone. You don’t get your maps app with everything magically synced and working.
- HDBaseT 24d agoI don't think Apple Carplay nor Android Audo are good technology either though. They both appear as an afterthought and are completely isolated from the car.
- tester756 26d agoGoogle Maps being displayed on built-in screen is good thing.
- AngryData 26d agoI would say simpler tech would be good. Just because you can put a super powerful chip in the car doesn't mean you should. It is wasteful overkill and breeds complicated software solutions and problems for things hardware already solved over a decade or more ago.
