It's more... auto market is driven by...
1) Suburban and city-adjacent high income US markets
2) Mid 40s folk in Northern European Cities

For these buyers, they gonna need to combine automated driving/parking, powertrain profile (PHEV/EV), mapping, mobile app, and infrastructure info (parking/charging/tolls) together.
BMW, GM, Lucid, Rivian, Ford, and GM headed in the right direction.
Everyone else got their head where the sun don't shine

Toyota/Honda/MB still acting like all this shit is separate but...
Changing the people, their incentives, cost structure and attitude on QA/privacy/security is the actually hard part.

Of the legacies, BMW i7 has been the best exp so far.
Lyriq comes really close for a lot lower price for integrating all this shit tgt
