The "brains" of the system, namely the phone, can be easily upgraded as technology changes. People will get new phones. Operating systems will be upgraded. Apps will come and go. Maps will update. The system will keep working flawlessly.
This can't happen with fixed hardware in vehicle - the firmware and apps will be promptly outdated.
I won’t consider a car that doesn’t support CarPlay. This is going to backfire on Gam big time.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Maybe they can go find rastermon and revive Tizen lol.
My Samsung fridge is running Tizen! It's awful!
Leaving a space on the door to attach a Samsung tablet could even work, and the user gets to update the tablet whenever they want.
The sooner that realize they’re a tape deck aux in with a motor attached, the better for everyone involved.
Wait, 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 m…
Boom - error free code!
Call 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 e…
Unfortunately consumers don't really punish companies for doing these kinds of things, at least I presume that's the story since high-end cars often have very shitty in-car computer experiences, like BMW or Porsche.

You can get $200 car units that run android and support both
This 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. 1. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2022/08/gm-ultifi-to-generate-2...
I went ahead and googled if tesla uses android auto or carplay and apparently it doesn’t either. Neither does Rivian.
