My car has no screens and neither will my next one. I can't cut the tech giants out of my life altogether but I'm reducing my reliance on them, not increasing their use cases where I don't need to. I'm not inviting them into my driving, my purchases, my music listening, my reading, or any other part of my life. Good for GM.

- add-sub-mul-div 1y agoMy current car is from 2003 and I'm happy with it. I'm fine with a backup camera screen, as long as I don't need Google/Apple in the mix and the controls (radio, climate, etc.) are not screen-based.
- kasey_junk 1y agoGMC probably doesn’t care about your opinion on what they put in new cars if you’ve conceded you aren’t going to buy one. But I’d suggest to you that if GMC is not supporting Apple/Android projection it’s not because they want to support something simpler and more open. It’s because they want to own the whole system. Who do you trust more to build quality software and not rent seek in that situation?
