On the other hand, there was a bug in CarPlay that locked out part of the UI in the Music app in my car when the car was moving. To say that was beyond annoying is an understatement. (Who would use a car radio to play music?) It was a regression introduced during an iOS upgrade and it took Apple over a year to fix and was only patched when they rolled the major version.

If there was deep hardware-software-vehicle integration this would have never happened and would have been caught in testing. Unfortunately since CarPlay is developed in a disconnect from the display device, and insufficient testing is done due to the plethora of vehicles out there, bugs like this can and will happen.

Ironically, this is the antithesis of the common praise levied on Apple's "controlling both the hardware and software" approach.
