I feel like I should be opposed to the tech giants being involved but it's not helped by the fact that auto makers consistently suck dogshit at designing a usable interface
The point about auto makers just wanting it to extract more value from customers is also fair. Though I guess enshitification feels likely no matter who controls the in-vehicle display
