Why are many cars’ screens slow and laggy when a $400 phone can have a smooth performance?

Another thing to consider is that car screens/computers are built for reliability in heat, cold, bouncing down the road and still working in 10 years. Those are all design trade offs that I’m willing to make
Apple CarPlay (and I think android) allow the manufacturer to just display a video stream from the phone and not try to be a super computer, just be a dumb screen (like a TV nowadays). I use external boxes (PS5, Switch, AppleTV) plugged into the TV and the TV just displays what the powerful external box wants it to. This is what CarPlay does for your infotainment, and you can upgrade your phone every couple years for a faster and better experience and not worry about the car’s built in system being slow/laggy/old.
