Take a car with an internal combustion engine and replace everything that is needed for an electric car. Now you have a no-nonsense car.
Instead, we have a rolling data center that feels like a smartphone.

This would be solved by putting space in the dash for people to install their own head units.
Which they’re doing.
Didn’t look like it every time I checked
There’s a huge space in the dash, it’s basically a large glove box. A radio or screen can be hidden behind the door or built into it, whatever you prefer.
Choice and DIY is a big part of Slate’s thing. I don’t need or want a screen and would not like a car with a big space for one. I’ll add it later if I change my mind.
The images and wording are really vague and I couldn’t tell if it was for a head unit or just a bluetooth speaker like the electric microcars do.
Am I the only person who uses my phone as the head unit?
The guy I’m replying to already explained why that is suboptimal for him.
iOS has driving mode to stop distractions whether it’s on car play or not. But you have to turn it on.
