Hi Hacker News! We've been building this as a little side project over the past years and we'd love to get your feedback!

What would make the map more fun to explore, and what other data would you like to see?

That is a great point and you are absolutely right! It really shows how tricky the UI part of this is and how quickly you run into scaling issues

I thought about that as well. At the moment, CarPlay can't take over every function so carmakers still have to make their own. But in the long term, there is an opportunity for Apple to make the whole thing and monetize it as a cost-saver to carmakers
Yes! It took two years to collect the data and build the site! Glad you like it!
> I'd honestly prefer a proper phone dock replacing that touch screen

So you are not against touch screens, but against poorly designed touch interfaces

To be fair, the test is pretty biased as they only tested use cases that are bound to be better as physical controls. It would have been more interesting if they had includes cases like selecting a route on Google Maps or navigating an app like Spotify.
