Controversies
In 2023 the company decided to abandon Apple Carplay and Android Auto in its future electric vehicles, first it was associated by the public as some "safety concern", but the GM Infotainment Business Strategy and Planning Manager, Ryan Buffa when questioned, said that: “The primary reason is that we’re looking to create a comfort level around the [EV] 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]
