re: GM will phase out CarPlay and replace with proprietary software for EV’s; hires Apple Exec

They want monthly subscription revenue and revenue sharing for any apps the driver chooses to use.

I have a new Silverado. Android software but allows CarPlay. Already has google maps which allows use of the whole screen. After a certain about of time (maybe 2 or 3 months) the Gmaps cuts out and asks you to pay for a plan. No more Gmaps.

I can still use Gmaps or Waze or whatever through CarPlay.

I am guessing in the near future, if you want to use CarPlay, you’ll be paying monthly for the plug in. Hopefully they don’t try to do this retroactively.
