No. Currently I do not use either Apple's or Google's software for my car, now GM is saying all their cars will _always_ be running Google's software, and Google is an advertising company, who's entire profit model is built on top of invading privacy. > Open source is your friend and the only way to guarantee that you are in control of your data. Sure, if you can read all the code yourself, but it's kind of moot because: * Android isn't open source, especially any Google [X] Service code * Even if it were 100% open source all it means is you get to see the code sending your data to Google. * It removes any choice for the user: there's no option to choose "do I trust google with my data", "do I trust apple with my data", or "just play music without touching the internet" > It doesn't matter whether Apple's business model is currently a lower fraction based on spying on its users I get that you have decided Apple is the enemy, but we need to be clear here. Apple's entire product marketing and product differentiation is privacy at the moment. Maybe in the future they will change (as I said earlier, companies are not your friend, and thinking one is on your side is not sensible), but to hold apple's potential future actions as equivalent to a company like Google, who's entire current business model is built on spying on people is nonsense. You might prefer google's semi-open source model but that doesn't mean it's inherently superior, and more to the point doesn't detract from my position on privacy of consumer data.
