Automakers Plan to Ditch Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Sparking Concerns Over Driver Safety and Data Control

• Share on:

A recent MotorTrend article highlights GM and other automakers' plans to discontinue Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in their new models, citing concerns over data control by tech giants. While manufacturers aim to create their own user-friendly alternatives, the decision raises concerns about potential distractions and safety for drivers who rely on these apps for hands-free functionality. If automakers do not provide effective interfaces, drivers may revert to using their phones directly, increasing the risk of distracted driving.
