Why are there streaming apps in cars?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago (2 children)

So I can watch something while I wait for my wife to finish shopping..

The streaming apps only work when the car is in park.

You can go with your wife, you know?

Unless the baby is sleeping and you don't want to wake them.

I’d rather not leave a young child unattended, and she doesn’t need (or want) my help choosing fabric.

Why not just stream your phone to the screen?

Why necessitate a workaround for a billionaire man baby's tantrum?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

My stance would be the same whether the app is there or not

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I could. But it’s a much nicer experience watching it on the 15” central display than a phone.

I think you misunderstood me

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I did misread it.

I’m not sure I understand what the point of using your phone would be? The car already has cellular connectivity which enables things like viewing security cameras remotely, turning on air conditioning, etc. So it’s not like a streaming app is tall ask.

So you can stream while it charges

Why do they have movies on planes? Are we not all pilots on a plane too? Never saw someone with kids in a car 🤣
