> VW? "No one needs Apple Car or Android. We are the world wide Nr. 1 in car business, what does a computer company know about cars? hahaha"

VW was supporting CarPlay from launch and the VW MEB dash was on all pro material of Apple for ages.

Ever heard of CARIAD, the biggest trainwreck, er carwreck, of a software company south of the north pole?

6000 people to develop a software stack for VW.

Go figure. The fact VW supported CarPlay early is footnote in this comedy.

Not sure how CARIAD is relevant here. That company was started years after carplay landed in VAG.

Nowadays those 6000 people don't even develop anything, they do outsourcing.
