I hate most cars' infotainment.

I still absolutely don't want CarPlay or Android Auto to become the default. Should they become the arbiters of what I can and cannot do in my car? Should I be beholden them for features, or which apps they allow in their walled garden?

Today I can vote with my money, choosing a car that fits me. If they all become the same, it's a monopoly.

Just don't use CarPlay then?

Both CarPlay and Android Auto are second screens to your phone... they're just "Airplay" streaming a simpler interface.
