they announced Carplay 2 a few years ago and I'm hoping manufacturers will go ahead with adding that as an option so you could just opt in to Apple UI

Yeah but you actually have to have an iPhone in order to use it because they are the world's biggest dicks.

Nah sod that, that we need open source UIs. The world doesn't get better if we have more proprietary nonsense, that doesn't help anyone.

You also need an Android phone for Android Auto.

What we need then, isn't an open source UI, but rather a standard API that could be implemented by any mobile OS (or just an app, even).
