GM Says It's Dropping Apple CarPlay And Android Auto Because They're Unsafe

The company thinks that the phone mirroring programs are so buggy that they still cause people to use their phones while driving

    They have stability issues that manifest themselves as bad connections, poor rendering, slow responses, and dropped connections.

    Yeah, you know what’s funny? The built in systems have these problems even worse, which is exactly what drives people to use the phone based alternative instead.

    And 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.

    Okay, and somehow using the built in ones, which always get cheaper hardware and less development resources, which always perform much much worse, doesn’t cause people to pick up their phones?

      It’s funny because all of those issues are problems with GM and not carplay. I have after market car play and have had literally 0 issues

      The only okay built in systems I have used were from Lexus and Infiniti, but even then they were only okay
