For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, with most of the ire directed toward in-car infotainment.

Why have both in cars? A car is expected to last 10, 15 years at least and C to C is already starting to become the new standard. I feel like if you buy a car, you can probably buy a phone cord for it...

This. Type C has been getting very popular since around 2016. Every phones cord is type C for few years now. Personallt I wish to never see the USB A type port again in antthing I purchase. Especially an expensive car. It is obsolete tech.

Thats true. But does your phones connectivity with a car matter at all if it isnt ”smart”?

lol - I was thinking iPhones which are still USB C <-> Lightening (at best), and not yet USB C<->C.
