There will be those who remember. In early 2023, General Motors made decisions regarding future electric car models. In line with these decisions, changes began in both the model types and the equipment the vehicles would have. Among the hardware changes are the “Apple Car Play and Android Auto” features. Here are the latest decisions and details of General Motors on the subject…
General Motors will no longer use Apple Car Play and Android Auto!
General Motors, which includes brands such as Chevrolet, GMC, Buick and Cadillac. General Motors, once known for Chevrolet, was later forgotten when the brand withdrew from our country. However, considering that the Chevrolet brand may start sales in our country again in the future, this decision is very important.
He stated that the Android Auto and Apple Car Play systems will no longer be available in the brands within the company. In the statement made on the subject, it was stated that these systems cause distraction for drivers. Accordingly, GM started to renew the multimedia systems in its vehicles to prevent users from being distracted.
General Motors will use the new software to be produced in cooperation with Google. However, there will no longer be the popular “Android Auto and Apple Car Play” software in GM Group cars. Although this does not upset Android users much, iPhone users seem to experience problems. Because it is a matter of great curiosity how compatible the new Google-based application will be with iOS operating system
If we take a look at this new software from General Motors, we have identified several different benefits for the brand. The first of these is “data collection” and “data analysis”. Nowadays, many brands are working on autonomous driving software. In this context, General Motors has the opportunity to collect data about users with its new software.
Additionally, the brand can earn extra income with this new software. Moves such as purchasing in-app or paid applications will provide a small amount of profit. And General Motors can also make money by adding small advertisements to its software. However, it is not thought that such a move will be made due to company policies.
