GM drops Apple CarPlay support amid new software strategy

In recent months, General Motors has made the significant decision to stop supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in its vehicles. This strategic shift is part of a larger initiative led by Baris Cetinok, the new Senior Vice President of Software at GM. The move aims to re-architect the vehicle software systems to create more seamless and integrated driving experiences tailored to customers' needs. By focusing on their proprietary software, GM hopes to create features that enhance user interaction with the car, rather than relying on external platforms. This approach reflects GM's commitment to innovate and adapt to evolving customer expectations in the automotive industry.
