How much day-to-day technology is enough?

I love my digital devices, but I'm also disinclined toward Digital Device Dependency and unnecessary connectivity. How about you?

I expect to add my own cellular internet and hope to connect either wifi or maybe wired as well. This would be for my own stuff and not something truck is dependent on.

I’m thinking just a tablet for CarPlay run off of my cell phone and a pill for a speaker…that’s all I really use currently (Lightning extravagance notwithstanding).

google:
No, iPads do not natively support Apple CarPlay.CarPlay is specifically designed for iPhones and is not a feature available for iPads. While you can connect an iPhone to your car's CarPlay system, you cannot use an iPad in the same way.

but I intend to use my ipad for Maps etc. Likely set up a screen for easier access?
maybe Apple will see this as an opportunity, but have a feeling there might be a restrictions from the auto manufacturers.

Good point! I only need maps, Slate app, spotify/other news app, and ability to look up stuff while I'm charging, I'd guess. So, not "CarPlay".

These conversations really make you examine what you really need/use vs all of the extra clutter.
