A big gamble by General Motors (GM) is causing consternation for its dealers in the all-important race to sell cars — namely electric vehicles.

    I can understand why auto manufacturers don’t want to implement Android Auto/Apple CarPlay into their vehicles — namely licensing costs.

    But I have never been a fan of auto manufacturer specific infotainment systems. Clunky. App integration and connection usually flaky. Poor support after 1-2 years.

    Usually just end up defaulting to an AUX cord and using my phone for road entertainment.

      I might not be up to date on this but to my knowledge Apple is not charging any licensing fees for CarPlay.
