minus-squareJesus_H-Christ@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoI think the Ford approach with the Maverick was the right one - include a screen, have basically no functionality to save a huge amount of cost, and make Carplay and Auto standard. People don’t give a shit about an OS made by an automaker.
