GM will provide all of that to you for $30 a month. CarPlay gives it to you for free, using the data plan you already pay for on your phone to fetch maps and stream music. My car does not need it's own internet connection to do these things, my phone can do them just fine. And as CarPlay and Android Auto have shown, it is borderline trivial to turn the giant touchscreen in my car into a dumb terminal for my smartphone. It's one thing to charge me a subscription for something I use regularly, it's another entirely to make me pay a subscription for something I already get somewhere else, just so I can have it in my car. Fuck GM.
