App inter communication

This morning I was setting up a route and Apple Maps says it is using the battery level from 19 hours ago. FP has the current SOC why not just have the two talk to each other to enable a better routing experience?

The car has to be on and CarPlay connected to get an updated battery level reading.

I understand how it currently works but
both apps exist on the phone one ,FP, has the current SOC. Why not have Maps talk to FP to get current SOC if if can’t talk to the car.

That's just not how it works. Apple Maps can only talk to the car directly through the CarPlay interface, not through another app. Software is a lot more complicated than that.

I wrote complex software for 2 decades. I think I understand software. All it would take is an interface in FP that exposes the information and for maps to make use of that information.
