GM EVs will ditch Apple CarPlay just before Apple's huge upgrade

GM plans to phase out Apple CarPlay in favor of a new built-in infotainment system developed with Google for future electric vehicles.

Published Mar 31st, 2023 1:38PM EDTGeneral Motors plans to phase out both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in favor of a new built-in infotainment system developed with Google for future electric vehicles, reports. GM’s decision will start in 2024 with the Chevrolet Blazer car and “could help the automaker capture more data on how consumers drive and charge EVs.”

Edward Kummer, GM’s chief digital officer, and Mike Himche, executive director of digital cockpit experience, say the company doesn’t want to design features in a way people are dependent on someone’s cellphone. “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.
