This article is trash but the data from the research is actually interesting.

Without CarPlay it’s still super easy to stream audio from any app and has been for a decade (sure maybe CarPlay makes it even easier?).

It is interesting and contrary to the headline that people with CarPlay listen to radio 20% less than people without. More so they listen to streaming services almost 10% more if they have CarPlay.

Obviously correlation is not causation. If you can afford a higher end car then you are also more likely to be a premium Spotify/Apple/Sirius subscriber. Regardless it still looks like a good investment on Apple’s part.
