GM Says It's Nixing CarPlay to Make Drivers Safer

> CarPlay will be eliminated in electric vehicles under the Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC brands. Combustion vehicles from GM will continue to support CarPlay until they are phased out in favor of an all-electric lineup in 2035.

It strikes me as odd that they would maintain to likely divergent paths. And given that they claim that this is for safety then it is even stranger that they could and would maintain two separate paths – by their claim one safer than the other.

It's almost like this isn't about safety at all :thinking-face:

You mean to have tighter control over subscriptions and user data. Seems like a net loss for users everywhere...

Car companies used to make most of their money selling cars. Then they switched to making it selling loans.

But the dirty secret is that today, most of the money is made selling software in their cars.
