Rivian CEO says CarPlay isn’t going to happen

Jess Weatherbed on her piece for the verge: >Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe tells The Verge that he wants his company, not Apple, to control its ecosystem Understandable >most consumers will only consider purchasing vehicles that support CarPlay This is true for car makers which software is crap -which is, most of them-. This may not be true for car makers who also put good software on their cars. This may be the case for Rivian. Also, as consumers I don't think we all want to have the same look and feel on our iPhones, and our cars, and more so if we have more than one car, or a car and a van. CarPlay is wonderful because it puts good software on bad car computers and makes them bearable, sometimes even good. But I think most people would prefer a more cohesive and custom experience for their car than what CarPlay currently offers. That is, until CarPlay 2 goes mainstream, which we've seen on WWDC24.
