Tempest -- the quintessential 80s video game... colored vector graphics and a perfectly-weighted knob that growled when spun. http://www.andysarcade.de/tempest.html

Reviews are tricky too:

1st dentist says you're fine. 2nd dentist finds 12 cavities.

1st dentist's review says he missed 12 cavities. 1 star. I see this the most.

2nd dentist's review says he's finding false cavities. 1 star.

True, I remember years ago, the presenter was doing a demo and ran into a problem. He quickly transitioned to another identical device nearby, and continued almost seamlessly. Didn't seem like much of an issue. Although that might have been WWDC, which is a different crowd.

CarPlay Ultra adds information such as speed, fuel/charge level, climate control, and tire pressure. Hard to imagine legal issues around that.

Although I could imagine the car manufacturers wanting to get revenue from refueling ads.

Microsoft Edge does this too, iirc, for "Startup Boost".

I grew up believing that capitalism somehow separates business from government, with each operating independently. Same with separation of church and state. Not sure what to think of things now.
