4 Built with Privacy in Mind
Apple’s vaunted commitment to user privacy extends to in-car entertainment as well. CarPlay collects a minimal amount of data from users and car manufacturers that’s necessary for the safe use of the interface. According to Porsche, the only data CarPlay collects is whether the car is accelerating or not while the system is in use. It’s this stark contrast and commitment to privacy that prompted the manufacturer to choose CarPlay over Android Auto, which required everything from throttle position, to coolant and oil temperature, to engine revs to be transmitted to Google.
