Choosing a Driving Route in CarPlay
That the default route’s Go button is gray while the alternates are green is a stupidity addressed by Sage Olson and Joe Rosensteel, so I won’t bother.
What I will address is that whichever route you choose, you have to tap its Go button. Even though the full description of each route looks like a button, the only part that’s tappable is the part that looks like a button inside another button.
Is this just as stupid as having a dull color as the default and a bright color as the alternate? Yes. And Apple has known that descriptions should be click/tap targets since the very beginning of the Mac. Here, courtesy of Infinite Mac, is MacWrite 1.0 running on a simulation of an original Macintosh.

I don't understand why can't they use multiple colors, like blue for this route, purple for that, indigo for that and so on. It would be much more visual and intuitive for comparison and choosing.
Thought I was fully losing my mind yesterday when trying to pick an alternate route and encountering the grey/green thing. Does no one at this stupid company use its products?
