Or is it because it wants to harvest data and make lots of money?
General Motors (GM) is officially abandoning the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto starting with the new EV models in 2024 onward due to alleged stability issues.
GM says CarPlay and Android Auto have “stability issues that manifest themselves as bad connections, poor rendering, slow responses, and dropped connections.”
