Doubtful it will be based upon Android Auto since that is primarily a phone mirroring system similar to Carplay. It is likely an Android Automotive based system. Android Automotive is Google's infotainment OS. GM already has cars in production which use Android Automotive. There is nothing about Android Automotive which precludes the use of Carplay, and Carplay is already supported in other Android Automotive based infotainment systems. This is a GM decision to attempt to drive subscription revenues.
- joezydeco 3y agoSo why isn't GM getting out there and saying "don't worry, you can still use CarPlay"? Unless the GM fork will prohibit it to maximize the data flowing to Google?
- tssva 3y agoBecause GM has made the decision to not support Carplay so they can drive subscription revenue. It has nothing to do with driving data to Google.
