But if car companies actually want to give buyers a good experience, I'm more"
"It'd be great if cars were simple, mechanical devices built out of raw iron and bolts and sold to purist customers who did their own maintenance. Golly-gee, it sure would be swell if we were all still taking the street car to see the picture show for a nickel too. But the world we live in isn't stagnant.

Modern car user interfaces are increasingly complex and inconsistent, often driving drivers to rely on Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to avoid poor built-in systems. Automakers frequently treat software as an afterthought, resulting in clunky experiences and slow fixes. Software must be treated as a core vehicle component because buyers expect traffic-aware maps, seamless phone connectivity, customization, and over-the-air updates. Brands that prioritize software integration and ongoing updates deliver better in-car experiences. Using smartphone platforms as a crutch prevents manufacturers from investing in and improving their native software stacks.
