Rivian rejects Apple CarPlay and bets heavy on AI for future electric cars

voice commands are never the best way to interact with a vehicle. as a driver, you mostly interact with the vehicle during a conversation going in the cabin with many people. do you have to ask everyone to shut up every time you need to toggle something on/off? it is even more challenging when you have kids. they interact with the voice commands like a game or they sleep in the car. in both situations, it is impossible to use voice commands. the solution is physical buttons, switches, knobs with tactile feedback like we have had for a 100 years. voice control is nice to have but, it cannot be the primary interaction with the vehicle.
regarding android auto/carplay; this is the smoothest car interface you can have. you have all the apps already installed, many settings customised and every account is logged in from day 1. why do you need to set everything up in the car all over again?
