Show Notes
Join Francie and Ryan as they address GM's latest reasoning for dropping Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for all EVs going forward - and that's due to "safety concerns" for their drivers. We discuss the evidence behind their reasoning, GM's history with this software interface, InsideEVs recent Chevy Blazer EV bricking story, and what we really think GM's motivation is for dropping this from future electric vehicles.
We're aware that the Chevy Blazer EV has been called for a stop-sale: https://www.autonews.com/regulation-safety/chevy-blazer-ev-sales-halted-fix-software-quality-issue
