Tesla tried to just stick common modern tech in their cars instead of outdated "automotivr grade" hardware and are paying the price for it https://www.thedrive.com/tech/27989/teslas-screen-saga-shows...

> Wouldn't it be so much better if vehicles just had a barebones screen in the dash with a connector for smartphones to power the system? You could even have the screen size mirror the resolution of the phone so it's just scaled up and rotated. Doesn't seem like much else would have to be done.

Don't most new cars these days support Apple Carplay and Google Android Auto? That's basically what they are, (h264 video cast of the screen and a back channel for touch/button input)
