But "reading a map" is only one thing you do with CarPlay.

People also use it for music, messaging, finding/changing destinations, voice calls, etc.

The CarPlay UI in particular is so inconsistent and unpredictable that I can never just have a routine. Some Siri commands randomly don't work ("I can't do that while you're driving") when they just worked a few minutes before.

Android Auto is much better, I will say.

Everything you do in a car is a choice. I don’t think CarPlay leads people to riskier choices on average than they’d make without it and makes some things they’re already choosing to do leas risky. (I ack that I don’t have data either.)
