GM to Drop Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in Favor of Google for Future EVs.

TL;DR Summary
GM will phase out Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with upcoming electric cars, beginning with the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV, and instead rely on Android Automotive and its apps. Users will get eight years of free Google Assistant and Google Maps use at no extra charge. GM argues that Android Automotive provides more control over the experience and there are "subscription revenue opportunities." The decision is a blow to Apple, and its services may not have native support in GM EVs.
