carPlay is Stockholm syndrome on wheels.

people have suffered through its clunky handshake for so long that they've started defending their captor.

My friend's $100k Audi makes him spend five minutes accepting terms of service just to enter a GPS destination. On contrary, he can hop into my Tesla and drive off instantly ...location already sent from my phone, key shared from the phone, but wow, no car play involved. One my friends owns android. No problem at all.



I hop into my car and CarPlay just automatically puts up the route I already have in my phone and starts working.

A bad implementation doesn’t mean the feature or service is bad. It just means you made a poor choice.
