Ever heard of CARIAD, the biggest trainwreck, er carwreck, of a software company south of the north pole?

6000 people to develop a software stack for VW.

Go figure. The fact VW supported CarPlay early is footnote in this comedy.

Not sure how CARIAD is relevant here. That company was started years after carplay landed in VAG.

Nowadays those 6000 people don't even develop anything, they do outsourcing.
