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

When I worked at <big American car manufacturer> it took 3-4 years, at least, to make a new car model. Early in that development cycle a lot of the hardware decisions were made, and as cheap as possible. That meant that most of the tech used in cars were up to 10 years old (old and cheap already when the decision was made).
It’s not noticeable as much on a proprietary system because it’s *usually* made to made the performance of the components, it just looks aged instead, but if it’s running a third party system that constantly gets more power hungry (like Android) it’s an issue.
Some car manufacturers might care more than others.
