    You get to use the cars screen vs using your phone as a screen (which is statistically smaller).

    Auto/Carplay UI is also optimized for driver with better legible text and fewer auxillary buttons that could distract you from driving.

    And who are you going to trust more updating the car software experience, 2 companies who is in the business of making full fledged operating systems and software, vs a car manufacturer whose software division miniscule compared to the big companies.

    Car companies essentially have 0 history of offering a good software experience. Why would anyone trust them now. Its like the Nintendo paid online stuff. Why would you trust Nintendo to have a better online experience if its paid when they have 0 history of actually making it good. Its just there to dime you for subscription money.
