All right, everybody, on this week's episode, we want to talk about what is going on with CarPlay.

And on top of that, what's going on with CarPlay Ultra is the automotive industry turning their back on Apple.

Oh, I got a special guest, and we're going to talk all about it.

And you know what time it is?

Let's get to the show.

What's up, everybody? Welcome to the show. It's the Apple Bits XL. Brian Tong here, your host, doing the most for everything good and bad inside the world of Apple.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it is episode 364.

We keep on chugging along in this week.

This episode is a fun one because I bring on a special guest, Joe Fedder from the Drive, to talk about all things Apple and automotive, the present, the future, what happened in the past and what

it means for Apple moving forward. This is a fun one, so can't wait to jump into that.

So I had to get an expert, a friend in the industry, Joel Fedder, director of product and content at

the drive if you're into the automotive stuff. That is a place you got to check out. Joel,

welcome, my friend. Thank you. Hey, you got, you're too kind. I'm just here because I want to be

cool like you when I grow up and be a celebrity on the YouTube. Okay, Joel, no brown nosing to start the show. That That's rule number one. You know, you've been covering- It's not brown-nosing if it's the truth. I'm a huge fan. I've been watching since like, you know, the dinosaurs of YouTube. We are both, that means we're both kind of dinosaurs, honestly. I did just get told by a doctor last week. I'm old, which I did not appreciate.
