#2I won’t consider a car that doesn’t support CarPlay. This is going to backfire on Gam big time.

#3Wait, so they're saying CarPlay and Android Auto are buggy on their cars, most likely because of their errors in getting the mirroring part right, so instead of fixing the issues, they think switching to their in-house system that they will design from scratch, that'll probably have hundreds of bugs, that's most likely gonna suck, is a better option?
They could've just said we're out of excuses we just want to make money on infotainment system lol.

#4Call it what it is.. they like the control of their in car entertainment systems and they don't want external companies taking that part of the pie.
It's okay gm, we understand. Let's hope you are able to make a compelling competition to this, otherwise your sales will suffer.
Traditional car software is very very poor for whatever reason. I don't think that car manufacturers have the mindset and capability to make even passable software, let alone competitive software.

#8Don't worry, they'll launch it as a monthly subscription service that ensures that you get the latest version of their software, which is going to be decades behind Android Auto and Car Play.

#9This is just nonsense to justify locking consumers into Ultifi, their new Android based infotainment system. GM has stated they expect to generate $20-25 billion in app and subscription revenues by 2030 [1].
GM is about to figure out people are more loyal to their phone than their car.

They've done that. That's what this is about.
