CarPlay/Android Auto were the first pass at a big fix.
The Polestar 2 shows us where this is going by having a full Google OS -- they handed over development to Google.

Back in the 60s it was plastic (see the famous movie) now the future is microfiber cloths. Two days in and you won't see the screen for the smears. As to subcontracting it to Google or Apple, means the techs in the service dept. will have no further clue when something occurs and your car will be in the shop for days. My Macan had an erratic lighting issue where (depending one what position the light switch was in and the amount of daylight) it would strobe like a police car (the sensor was fine). Dealer didn't know (and yes though I had modified the electronics extensively via x431 those were done months before) having run the usual tests, so they escalated it up the chain until finally they told them to reload the software.
At that point I asked them if the software version they loaded was different from the one previously resident. They said P doesn't tell them that and they were just told where to download it from. As Apple or Google will do with you and P, no one will have a clue.
I'm really starting to seriously consider a 71 Cuda project car...
