For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, with most of the ire directed toward in-car infotainment.

The type c to c is becoming quite common and even better, it can charge much, much faster. If you have such an issue when traveling, I'd suggest getting a small USB c to USB a adaptor. They are about the size of a quarter.

USB A is, in the tech world, an outdated standard that is being replaced. I actively try to have any device I purchase now only use type C. If I never see another micro USB port on my life, it will be too soon. Even Apple has started to embrace type C for their devices and the EU is forcing them to use type C on iphones in Europe.

I've gotten happier the more cars that I rent that have wireless chargers built in somewhere. It's especially nice not to have to worry about a cable at all anymore.
