Since I get to test the best electric cars, I interact with CarPlay on just about every drive. I’ve explained why wired CarPlay may be the preferred method of accessing Apple’s car infotainment software, but I’ve come to yet another realization: there are a lot of redundant CarPlay apps.

The beauty of CarPlay is that it projects many of my iPhone’s functions to my car’s displays so that I can intuitively interact with and access them without being distracted. What’s more, you don’t need to download CarPlay-specific versions of the apps you already use; they’re already on your phone.
