GM is ditching CarPlay for your safety.
MotorTrend paraphrased GM infotainment boss Tim Babbitt’s reasoning for ditching Android and Apple:
When CarPlay and Android Auto have issues, drivers pick up their phones again, taking their eyes off the road and totally defeating the purpose of these phone-mirroring programs.
If drivers were to do everything through the vehicle’s built-in systems, they’d be less likely to pick up their phones and therefore less distracted and safer behind the wheel.
It wasn’t clear if he said this with a straight face.
