This is just nonsense to justify locking consumers into Ultifi, their new Android based infotainment system. GM has stated they expect to generate $20-25 billion in app and subscription revenues by 2030 [1].
GM is about to figure out people are more loyal to their phone than their car.

- chrisdbanks 3y agoYep. Never buying a GM now. It would never pay for a subscription to have something just in my car that I also have on my phone.
- AmVess 3y agoThese people are certifiably insane. How are they not aware that people carry their entire digital lives in their pockets and purses and aren't going to swap that for whatever pile of garbage GM will come out with? Further, how are they going to handle rental fleets? Do they think people will fork over $20 on top of a rental fee just to use their junk service?
