You'd think so... GM has stated that they're doing away with CarPlay and Android auto in favour of their own thing, which will most likely suck on large ways.

Ford, on the other hand, came out and said that they lost that battle 10 years ago and are going to keep them.

Which rules out GM for me as an option for my next vehicle. Maybe they can make up the lost sales by data mining the rest of their customers.

I’m pretty sure when you hand in the paperwork for creating a car company, there’s a little pledge you have to take: I will make the crappiest possible OS to include in my car.

It is really bizarre that they insist on continuing to try. Just give us AUX in (stereo or usb). Cellphones can do it all now anyway. The car’s entertainment system should be about as complex as a pair of headphones.

Their own thing is Android Auto(motive) developed by Google.

GM is hardly a car brand that knows what consumers give a shit about, this is just enshitification to squeeze their remaining customers.

Their trucks still sell massively and the Blackwing Cadillacs are both on many 10-best lists.

Ok? That doesn't contradict anything I said.

If they didn't know what people wanted, they probably wouldn't be able to sell a massive amount of them.
