GM drops Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for Google in future EVs.

TL;DR Summary
General Motors' upcoming lineup of electric vehicles won't support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, instead opting for a native Google infotainment system to provide "seamless access" to Google Maps, Google Assistant, Audible, Spotify, and more. The move will help GM capture more data on its customers' driving, listening, and charging habits, and could inform future subscription products. The decision is a reversal from GM's previous position when it first announced its deal with Google to integrate the tech company's apps into its fleet. However, current GM vehicles with Google built-in won't lose access to CarPlay and Android Auto.
