Rivian Says Fight Over Apple CarPlay Is 'Completely Obsolete' Thanks To AI - InsideEVs

You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month, gone.

You're not alone — and you're not tech-stupid. The tools just weren't built around how real businesses actually work.

Here's what Rivian just figured out that most AI vendors still haven't:

The old debate about Apple CarPlay vs. built-in controls is now irrelevant. Why? Because AI doesn't bolt onto existing systems — it replaces the friction entirely. Rivian didn't pick a side. They made the argument obsolete.

That's the shift most business owners miss. You're asking "which AI tool should I add?" when the better question is "which friction in my business is costing me the most time or money right now?"

Start there. One friction point. One workflow. Not your whole operation.

Pick the single task your team does repetitively that produces zero creative value — scheduling, summarizing, sorting, responding. That's your first AI target. Fix that one thing. Measure it in 30 days. Then decide what's next.

No consultants. No ripping anything apart. Just one small win that proves the concept in your actual business.

The businesses pulling ahead aren't doing more AI. They're doing focused AI.

What's the one repetitive task in your business that's quietly draining the most time each week?
