GM to Remove CarPlay from All Future Vehicles, Including Gas Cars

General Motors is phasing out Apple CarPlay support in its vehicles, starting with electric vehicles in 2023. This change is expanding to all future gas vehicles across the GM portfolio, including new models. CEO Mary Barra confirmed this shift, emphasizing the focus on their in-house platform. This transition is expected with each new vehicle launch and major update. GM aims for a unified infotainment system across its entire lineup. GM's Chief Product Officer, Sterling Anderson, compares this to the shift away from disk drives, advocating for a superior future. The in-house system promises a more immersive experience with enhanced features. This move allows GM to directly integrate and access data crucial for its EVs. The 2028 Cadillac Escalade IQ will introduce a new centralized computing system to streamline vehicle building and updates. GM plans to share software across all brands, including both electric and gas-powered vehicles.
