General Motors (GM) has announced that it will phase out support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in its electric vehicles (EVs) in favor of their custom infotainment systems running Android Automotive.
General Motors (GM) has announced that it will phase out support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in its electric vehicles (EVs) in the coming months. The decision is part of the automaker’s plan to develop its own proprietary infotainment system for its EVs, all with Google’s help.
While Apple CarPlay and Android Auto have become popular choices for in-car entertainment systems in recent years, GM is looking to offer a more seamless experience that is better integrated with its EVs. According to GM, its new system will be faster and more intuitive, offering better integration with the EV’s battery and charging system.
This move by GM has surprised some industry experts who see it as a risky move, considering the popularity of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. However, GM is not the only automaker to develop its own infotainment system. Tesla, for example, has had success with its own proprietary system, which is known for its speed and user-friendly interface.
