Literally everything you said is not true for me

- My phone's screen is nowhere near big enough for me to "glance" at it while driving (to see if my turn is coming up, etc)

- I'm not carrying around a tablet with me - my phone fits in my pocket

- Mounting is _not_ a solved problem. It just... isn't. This is a whole topic on it's own, but mounting a phone in a good position, where it will stay without moving/falling/bugging (especially in 100+ degree heat) and not be in the way of _other_ car things is a pain

- I already have physical buttons (that interact with car play, where needed) for all those things in my car

- Interacting with the screen of my phone while driving is 100% not something I'm proficient with; nor would I want to be. It's not designed for interacting with it while not paying attention to it. CarPlay is

Fully agree on screen size. In my car the dash screen over twice the physical size of my iPhone 16 Pro Max and is much easier to read maps from at a glance.
