GM is not equipped to build software, and that’s okay. What’s not okay is that GM lacks the basic self awareness to recognize their own limitations. The schadenfreude is strong with this one.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
My classmate back from Uni is a pretty high up manager working on GM infotainment (as is his dad). He (the classmate) failed and had to retake CS101 three times.
That is embarrassing but it doesn't necessarily mean anything. What matters is did they end up a competent software engineer.

Naming an electric car the "Blazer" seems like tempting fate. Even if the car is fine in absolute terms, the first time one lights on fire (for any reason) just invites memes. And God help you if it should ever have a legitimate issue with the electronics.

Even with AA or CarPlay, a (usually buggy) manufacturer-built system is running underneath.
But generally I agree that GM is absolutely insane and toredoing their company.

A lot of companies have a kind of organizational disrespect for coding. I don’t think is is possible to build great software while wishing it didn’t exist.
You'd think GM would have continued sale and guaranteed profit from the Bolt while they worked out the kinks of the next-generation.
