Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe finally breaks silence to reveal why its electric trucks won't have Apple CarPlay anytime soon.
Apple CarPlay is one of those must-have features for so many new car buyers. After all, how cool is it that your apps, texts, and personalization follow you everywhere you go? The problem is that automakers aren't so hyped about software from other companies in their cars. Some manufacturers like Rivian, Tesla, and now even General Motors have instead opted to completely forego Apple CarPlay in future models.
The specific example Rivian uses, opening the front trunk, can be performed one of four ways: via the app, the key fob, a physical button on the front of the car, or the infotainment screen. Unfortunately, there is no physical button to pop it open. There is no CarPlay-specific function to make that happen in a Rivian.
