This from the company that thinks they can program better software than CarPlay or android auto.

The GM software will ALWAYS be better than Carplay/Andriod Auto, because the metric they are optimizing for is being able to add microtransactions to your car after you’ve bought it, not optimizing for the user experience.

They can be far more predatory on their own you see.

I'm sure their adoption rate looks like, does the user use the autostart software when the start the car? Yes? Wow, using our software really is amazing.

Now what about the optional Android auto software? No? Pft, we have 100% adoption vs 50% (assuming 50% of users use Android).

They don't think they can do it better. They just don't want to pay the licensing necessary to have it in their vehicles.
