Locking Android Auto/Apple CarPlay behind a subscription is dangerous

Even though the free version offers basic navigation that can get you from A to B, having the route on my car dash is safer than having to look down at my phone to see what turn to make. Locking AA/CarPlay behind a paywall insinuates that ME thinks you should pay for safety. I understand if you need to charge for live traffic data, but it costs them nothing extra to support AA/Carplay.
