GM Ditches CarPlay and Android Auto for Google in Electric Models

Despite General Motors' decision to restrict access to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in its future lineup of electric vehicles, the rest of the auto industry continues to offer the popular smartphone projection systems. Apple says nearly 80% of new car buyers insist on the feature before making a purchase. GM's decision to move away from phone projection is a huge risk, as customers have come to expect it. Two pure EV automakers, Rivian and Tesla, also don't offer access to CarPlay and Android Auto, but still manage to sell cars.
