The history of Roku and the fight over CarPlay

Today on the flagship podcast of dedicated streaming hardware: We try out a couple of show formats we’ve been planning for a while.

Nilay Patel and David Pierce yell at each other about who should own the screens in your car. Are CarPlay and Android Auto the answer, the solution to universally crappy automaker software? Car companies haven’t figured out if they’ll let Apple CarPlay take over all the screens The rest of the auto industry still loves CarPlay and Android Auto Everybody hates GM’s decision to kill Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for its EVs Rivian CEO says CarPlay isn’t going to happen Apple’s fancy new CarPlay will only work wirelessly Later, David answers a question from The Vergecast Hotline about political spam texts.
