Its a shame that OBD2 information would be shared with Google, but not the driver. I would like to see performance data on my car in real time that is more comprehensive than what is displayed on the dash. Also, restricting typing and voice input only are two of the biggest annoyances I have with carplay. It would be easier to let me stop at a light and type or pinch and zoom for maps, but the car monitor is very, very limited compared with using an iPad. If they remove these features, I'll just get a computer stand with place it over the monitor in my next car.

This must vary with manufacturer. The CarPlay in my vehicle never restricts input. I can even manipulate the CarPlay with my Apple Watch, which feels much more dangerous than using a phone. Not sure why that’s a thing.
