The problem car companies have is if they are beholden to android and apple then they are at the mercy of whatever those two want to charge.

Apple doesn’t charge for CarPlay (can’t speak to Android), so I’m unsure what you’re referring to.

For now.

If I’m generous to car companies they don’t want to be beholden to a third party duopoly. If I’m not then they want to monetise with typical surveillance capitalism.

For now.

Oh, that old canard: “yeah, but just you wait!” I live in the present, and I’ll deal with the facts as they are today, not some hypothetical future offered up to win an argument.

People who are unafraid of picking are now paying how much to Broadcom?

Makes sense for car companies to keep options open.
