GM thinks it can wean you off Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

In an interview, GM’s Scott Miller stood by the controversial decision to restrict access to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in its future EVs.

General Motors recently made a decision that, depending on how you look at it, may come back to bite them in the ass. The company announced that for its future lineup of electric vehicles, it would no longer offer access to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. That means future owners of the Chevy Blazer EV or GMC Sierra EV Denali won’t be able to project their phone’s operating systems onto the infotainment screen of their vehicles. The backlash was swift.

“People are creatures of habits,” he said, “and if they’ve been using it, they’ve been using it.” But he’s confident that they can be won over by a native software experience that excludes any need to pair a device via Bluetooth, which objectively can be a pain in the ass when it doesn’t work well.
