I just finished my first long road trip since installing iOS 17 and I really felt the lack of a StandBy-esque CarPlay mode when you put your phone into a horizontal dashboard mount. I’ve gotten very fond of StandBy in the house, so it seems only right that there would be a similar mode when in the Driving focus mode.
@_Davidsmith I ended up creating my own homescreen of widgets for a driving focus mode. Massive tap targets for ease of access works pretty well as an alternative!
@b3ll @_Davidsmith Interesting idea. Do you mind sharing a screenshot? Thanks 😀

@Bracl @_Davidsmith one example screen: maps widget is pretty good at suggesting where I need to go to based on usage (work, gym, etc.) so it’s often a 1 tap

Albums I have as shortcuts to heavy rotations or shuffled from my collection which are also 1 tap to play
