stop "turn on wifi to use wireless carplay" notification

I know that wireless CarPlay requires both bluetooth and wifi to function, but Wi-Fi drains my iphones battery too quickly so I leave it off unless I choose to use CarPlay wirelessly. Now I constantly get the notification "Turn On Wi-Fi to Use Wireless CarPlay" even when I am not in or near the car. Since I already know this, I do not need to be reminded. How do I disable this annoying notification?

iPhone 7, iOS 15

This drives me crazy on a daily basis. No other app continues to prompt you after you've dismissed a notification. This morning, in driving roughly 300 yards, I got four straight notifications despite clicking "USB only" each time. It feels like forced usage and is a constantly annoying distraction. I get the prompts even when I'm in my house. I've spent hours research a way to disable this to no avail. I prefer a wired connection for improved audio quality, but regardless of the reason, this shouldn't even be an issue. Come on Apple, just fix it.

Apple wants us to use wifi. It knows that without a USB connection the phone is not receiving power. Which means if we turn on wifi, especially in a car, we're killing our batteries, which means many of us will simply replace our phones 2 years down the road as the battery life stinks. At worse, they collect an egregious amount to do a $25 job any 3rd party shop will do. I keep wifi off on my iPhones (2 at all times). Its alarming the depths Apple will go to to dissuade me from doing this. But I smile as my battery life is more than double what it would be if I turned on wifi. With all the moving around I do, all wifi does is constantly search for available networks. There is no solution until Apple moves on to another way of killing our devices and, maybe, turn this one off.
