2) Zoom / Teams calls where I like having a mute button on the screen

Nav
At least circa '22-24 when I still owned the truck, it was often not giving me the most efficient route recommendations through traffic. Sometimes, it would bring me to the wrong destinations. And sometimes, it would repeatedly route me off and back on the highway.

Text
I like using the CarPlay integration for reading/sending IMs. I missed not having that.

Audio
I use Youtube Music and they had no native app (might still not). Relying on just BT streaming from the phone is kind of an annoying limitation.

ah gotcha - i keep forgetting the texting ticket in CA/BC is super expensive

back in WA it was so cheap that I learned to drive stick shift thru traffic, text, and teams on my foldable phone lmao

I don’t get what’s so important that you need to teams people from the car. Those Timothy chaletman lookalike meetings are much make effective in real life than on teams.

Did you land acknowledge in the car

Someone got into an accident while on a Teams call and tried to sue us at work. The case was thrown out. But because of that, I hang up on anyone who takes a Teams call in the car.

It’s not that the meeting itself is critical, I’d be parked for that.

It’s those that are kinda unimportant (but I still need info from it) that I take it in the car during the commute
