What else do you really need when driving? Maybe I just can't relate because I have android.

CarPlay is the only modern car tech I care about.
Fumbling with your phone while driving is dumb. All build into car nav is terrible. Leaving your phone in your pocket and being able to use, in your case, google maps on the car's built in screen is great. As is being able to select what you're listening to over bluetooth on a simplified for car use interface.
Plus it stays up to date as the car gets older, as the car is just the display-- the interface is determined by the phone.
And "free" data (as in, it uses your phone's data instead of requiring a data plan). And it barely touches the battery life of your phone, as the car's GPS is used instead of the phones.
It's just great-- and invalidates the need for all the crap ass infotainment that comes with cars stock (e.g. iDrive).
