@geomannie@mastodon.scot to be fair, Android Auto and CarPlay were initially very limited for this reason. There were limited applications, they had strict guidelines. While the car wasn't parked, you could only press a limited number of buttons and see a limited list of options. But after years of complaints that these car interfaces weren't like peoples' phone screens, they've relented. And manufacturers' interfaces are often worse!

@guigsy@mstdn.social @geomannie@mastodon.scot The problem with limiting CarPlay is that if the screen locks people out because the car is moving, they pick up their phone to do whatever it is they're trying to do.
