Enjoyed the most recent ATP where ther guys discussed the recent GM decision regarding not supporting CarPlay or Android Auto. I have to say that I (unfortunately) agree with Marco when he pointed out other industries and their tendency to break apart “good things” for financial gain. And yes, his example of the streaming offerings is spot-on.
It has me nervous when I think about the idea of NOT having CarPlay (in my case) as an option for my next car(s). I use CarPlay everyday. It’s almost essential in my routine and the routine of my family. And it’s something I absolutely use as a spec when considering a new car.
Teslas are great. And from what I hear, so are Rivians. But they’re not even on my radar because they are so locked in to their own software stack. And GM has now joined them.
It’s unfortunate.
