General Motors plans to phase out widely used Apple\n \n CarPlay and Android Auto technologies that allow drivers to bypass a vehicle’s infotainment system, shifting instead to built-in infotainment systems developed with Google\n \n for future electric vehicles. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto systems allow users to mirror their smartphone screens in a vehicle’s dashboard display.
GM would benefit from focusing engineers and investment on one approach to more tightly connecting in-vehicle infotainment and navigation with features such as assisted driving, Edward Kummer, GM chief digital officer, and Mike Hichme, executive director of digital cockpit experience, said in an interview. “We have a lot of new driver assistance features coming that are more tightly coupled with navigation,” Hichme told Reuters.

I enjoy my Volt but Apple CarPlay can be glitchy lately. Not sure who’s fault but this makes me suspect GM. This will backfire.
no GM vehicles for our family in the future. Sad
Bad idea.
I agree. Get rid of the wheels as well! The most useless part of the car! Genius!

Most importantly is to remove rubbish built in maps with Google Maps. Any infotainment system should be based on renowned solutions like Android anyway.
Boooooo!
Car companies are terrible at making software. This will crash and burn.
never a GM for me for sure
Another reason not to own a GM car.. nice job let’s make something worst just like our cars.
This will ruin GM. Give people more choices not less.
Another reason I’ll never buy a gmc vehicle. 🤡 show company
ah yes a bug step back is always what customers want.
Probably a good thing. Apple Car Play and Android Auto have really lagged behind on advancing their technology. Can’t download apps, very few apps available and the ones that you can get are always extremely glitchy.
Doesn’t matter because I don’t expect to purchase a GM vehicle in the future.
How about fuck electric cars
this won't end well for them
Just give me a radio and a cd player….all these gadgets are too much distraction.
Will not be buying a GM product anytime soon.
A truly bad idea. Well done, GM.
Only GM can screw something up so bad.
Everything is going to subscription.if you want your steering wheel heated or seat heated it will cost you a monthly fee.
“We do believe there are subscription revenue opportunities for us,” -Edward Kummer, Chief Digital Officer. So GM’s excuse is GREED when they can’t make money off Apple services.
Sadly, Won’t be purchasing a GM car.
Pay $60K+ for a car. Pay a monthly fee to use all its features. What a scam. Toyota has been doing this to use remote start, monitoring features. I would never buy or rent a car without CarPlay.
Dumb mistake

I guess time will tell as to which interactive platform is better and more popular.
That sucks
UI/UX in my Silverado is 10 to 15 years behind any other vehicle manufacturer probably 20 plus behind my phone time look elsewhere
Huge mistake
I'd rather be skinned alive than buy an electric vehicle.
Huh?
Terrific decision! When I think of “consumer software” I think of GM. Love me some “infotainment” menus.
Guarantees an entire generation will not buy GM cars
Ew
Is this an April Fool’s joke?
👎🏻
Sounds like an enormous mistake
Man, it’s shocking GM went from industry leader to a car i would never consider buying in a generation
'This works well let's get rid of it'
Well, that’s dumb
Boooooo bad idea GM
What a horrible idea. Noone wants to go back to the Garmin days.
Not that I was going to in the first place, but definitely won’t be buying, leasing or renting GM once this kicks in. Stupid.
Love my appleplay on my cars.
that's ok- no one will buy their cars- i would not buy a car without apple play- GM bad decision making considering 99% of cell phones are apple or android
And a fee❓❓❓❓💰💰💰💰🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
So all they did was switch from Apple to Android.
Just switch to Tesla.
Apple car play is top criteria for me. No GM for me!
You can bailout stupid, but you can’t fix it. These over priced failures cost US tax payers $11 billion last time. Any bets on how much it’ll cost us next time around?
Terrible idea.
Imagine charging people extra to buy an inferior product.

Sticking with my AM FM radio and *gasp* cd player, thank you. 😁 And last thing we need are more distracted drivers
Yeah, just another reason not to buy GM.
Good thing I’ll never buy a gm
Well that would be a huge loss of market share
Literally the ONLY thing I cared about when buying my car was having apple car play.
This is a huge mistake on GM behalf. I don’t drive a GM but whenever I get a rental I always ask for a GM because of the wireless CarPlay. You are underestimating how many people really really like this feature.
Why is GM trying to sell fewer cars?
Another good reason not to buy GM.
My vehicle is so old I actually have no idea what this means 😂 I did just buy a more easily accessible CD case for the truck though 💪
That’s dumb. I would just get rid of the infotainment system altogether.
I like CarPlay in my 2021 Bolt. It was actually one of the selling points for me. At least they can't take it away from my car.
Lol some 15 year old will hack around this in 5 minutes
That’s pretty dumb
Terrible idea
Terrible idea. Today people want to customize. They want things just the way they want personalized to their needs
Not sure if this is an April Fool's article or not. Wouldn't surprise me either way
I guess I will not be buying a GM EV -- not a Google fan.
I didn't think GM could do more to make ne hate them.
I'll ditch my car before I ditch my phone.
Well, I’ve bought my last GM car then.
