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

It’s going to be subscription service. And no way can GM beat Apple or Android at a car interface. This just means I’ll never buy another Chevy again.

And no way can GM beat Apple or Android at a car interface.

Poor marketing from GM, Google, and most automakers. A lot of the interfaces are still gonna be Android-based, they're dropping Android Auto not Android Automotive. Android Automotive being the actual OS that most car infotainment displays come with these days, and is made by Google. Android Auto is just the ability to connect your phone and project it to the display.

Still a shit move, but GM has nowhere near the capability to actually build a good infotainment OS from the ground up.
