    Were these the employees GM tasked to build a custom infotainment system to replace CarPlay?

      There were also cuts in other software areas. My team propulsion controls for BEVs, and we lost a couple people unexpectedly.

        I hate to hear that. Propulsion controls is not a department I’d want to be making cuts in.
