Being Wrong While Being Right

I really like Rivian, and RJ Scaringe seems like a good dude, but his comments nearly gave me an aneurism.

@caseyliss Nice post. Another reason, which I might have missed, is that by using CarPlay all of my data is in sync. Apple Maps remembers all my stuff and is useful when I rent a car. Overcast knows my podcasts and what I've listened to, trying to keep track by having Overcast and another app on a car would be a nightmare. Plus privacy issues.

My car is my iPhone's most expensive accessory. The iPhone is not my car's accessory.

@paulc @caseyliss Right, that’s what I don’t understand… Best case for Rivian is that they offer a version of every app I care about on my phone AND I sign into every one of them on their car AND they all sync their data between car and phone seamlessly. I just don’t see that happening, so I don’t understand how they think they can deliver an experience that even approaches parity with phone+CarPlay.
