GM Says It's Dropping Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Because They're Unsafe

Nonsense. They want all the data to themselves and want a subscription to sell.

They have stability issues that manifest themselves as bad connections, poor rendering, slow responses, and dropped connections.

Yeah, you know what's funny? The built in systems have these problems even worse, which is exactly what drives people to use the phone based alternative instead.

And when CarPlay and Android Auto have issues, drivers pick up their phones again, taking their eyes off the road and totally defeating the purpose of these phone-mirroring programs.

Okay, and somehow using the built in ones, which always get cheaper hardware and less development resources, which always perform much much worse, doesn't cause people to pick up their phones?

So they’re going to spend countless millions developing one that’s better? How exactly are they going to solve the problems they suggested? Are they going to invent a better USB cable? Reinvent Bluetooth?
