I have equally bad experiences with both Android Auto and Apple Carplay. I don't really want either and am fine with what I've got (only 1/3 of the cars I own even has Carplay/Android Auto). I mostly dislike how it's been implemented with "safety controls" that require the phone to be plugged into the infotainment center in some cars and the requirement that I only connect it while at a stop with the car in park. If someone is driving with me and they want to change to their phone I have to pull over and that's stupid.

The infotainment centers themselves with their stupid touch screens and lack of buttons are where my real problems start, and the end with the tracking BS and telemetry data. You can keep the new cars. I don't want them.

Why buy a new car? It would be cheaper to build your own car at this point. You can also spend money on reliability and strength, instead of surveillance. There is absolutely no way in hell I'd ever buy a new car. The culture has deteriorated too much and the people making cars don't give a shit if the American economy implodes because no one has a car. America is about to become Cuba.

I really really dislike the UX. Sorry, but I just want my phone to Bluetooth for sound/calls and bonus if I can get a charge via wireless charging.

Android converting my elegant display into something that looks like it was built on Window 95? Nah, keep it.
