@caseyliss once again, a hilariously bad take (from Rivian).
If you create an experience that's so seamless and so good, that it eclipses CarPlay… people won't use CarPlay!
Otherwise, you're just knee-capping the infotainment system for your customers
@b3ll @caseyliss
There are three reasons why an automotive manufacturer would not include CarPlay or Android Auto.
1. They don’t want Google collecting telemetry on their vehicles drivers (See Porsche).
2. They think they can make money by selling their own apps to their vehicles drivers (ie GM, BMW).
3. They are fascists and want to control All-The-Things or data brokers and sell their vehicle owners data to the cheapest bidders.

Yes.
Walled Gardens without Competent Gatekeepers.
Although at least the App Store and Play Store do have reviewers who(‘s Primary Job is supposed to be to) verify the quality and integrity of the Apps.
The Vehcile manufacturers just have one executive that makes a decision and doesn’t follow it up for 10 years.
