I put a quad-lock on my dashboard and just stick my phone on it. It's right next to my steering wheel. I set the stereo to bluetooth link and everything's actually great.

I think CarPlay and Auto are too much. Outside of navigation and music, what overlap do we have in a car and phone? Just enable bluetooth sending of locations or full-on directions. Bluetooth music already works great.

Eventually we'll have voice agent integration so that stuff nearby (e.g., bluetooth range) gets integrated into the available status/command set of one primary one.

Leave all the fast-moving, upgradable stuff on the phone. Make the car platform stable and you've got the best of both worlds.
