Cars come with AndroidAuto (and whatever is for iOS). Only apps signed by Google can communicate with AndroidAuto. I don't want to use a Google phone or app to display OSM on my car's media screen. Why is this legal?

Once you're talking about interactive information displays in cars that can be accessed while the vehicle is in motion, traffic and highway safety regulations start cropping up. When you ask "Why is this legal," try rephrasing it to, "Why is it legal for companies to make it so difficult to play Doom on my BMW's touch screen," and you will probably arrive at the answer.

Also, "why is it illegal to sell cars that can play Doom while driving"
