General Motors Company is an American multinational, automotive-manufacturing company founded in 1908. It owns many car brands, such as Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac, alongside other companies like OnStar and other GM subsidiaries for parts, financial administration, and insurance.[1]
Controversies
In 2023, the company decided to abandon Apple Carplay and Android Auto in its future electric vehicles, initially explained to the public as a "safety concern". When questioned later, GM Infotainment Business Strategy and Planning Manager, Ryan Buffa, said that: “The primary reason is that we’re looking to create a comfort level around the [electric-vehicle] charging experience. With Android Auto or Apple CarPlay environments, the vehicle energy model or road segment data is sending energy usage and everything else associated with it to the phone, and it’s pretty difficult to off-board it from the phone.”[2]
