Is the Android Auto interface part of Android open source? If it is, what stops Apple from making CarPlay compatible with Android Auto protocols?

- flax 4y agoThe same thing that stops Apple from making their phones USB-C compatible, or iMessage RCS compatible, or making the app store back-end not require xCode and a mac merely to upload a file. They are a monopoly, and they are trying to coerce consumers to give them more money.
- agloe_dreams 4y agoGM is killing Both carplay and AA, everyone is confused all over the place and reporting is awful. The new system runs off "Google Automotive Services" (AKA: GAS - Native Google Android on the car's computer hardware) complete with the Play Store. Apple could always build iMessage and Apple Maps for GAS.
- jedberg 4y agoThat actually makes a lot more sense. Unfortunate that it's going that way though. Thanks for the info.
