They want to build elaborate "subscription models" like some sort of web SaaS product. "We do believe there are subscription revenue opportunities for us," Kummer said. GM Chief Executive Mary Barra is aiming for $20 billion to $25 billion in annual revenue from subscriptions by 2030."[0] https://www.reuters.com/technology/gm-plans-phase-out-apple-carplay-evs-with-googles-help-2023-03-31/ https://www.reuters.com/technology/gm-plans-phase-out-apple-... I can't overstate how unappealing this sounds, and how little faith I have in these companies to build "software on wheels" that works well, isn't buggy, doesn't have to be updated all the time, doesn't get in the way of the 1 thing I want the car to do: drive me where I want to go without interference.. while providing something necessary and functional that justifies subscription payments. Why would anyone want to pay Chevy for presumably what they can already get on their phones etc instead of just buying a normal functional car without pointless bugs?
