    Honestly your opinion is invalid if you’re praising Tesla.

    But the convenience of CarPlay/AA is that it doesn’t matter that car you’re driving, it’s consistent. It’s niche, but I travel a lot end up in rentals a lot. I’ll always prefer the rental with CarPlay since I’m used to how it works. I don’t have to learn every useless car brands infotainment it’s tied to my phone and just works.

      Bth, Tesla infotainment might be the only thing they did right in that car. Not intrusive, fast, intuitive.

      Exception applies for their auto drive, which seems to be actively hunting for humans and walls

        Yeah and every car I get in that supports it doesn’t so I don’t try to do that. That’s kinda the point I’m trying to make, if you’re used to the system and can take it from car to car it’s convenient.

        If I’m stuck in a Toyota one day without it and the next I’m in a Kia with out it’s unsafe that I have no idea how the basic systems work when it could be universal and on my phone.

        (Also using pinch while driving sounds dangerous but good example either way)
