I can’t speak to GM but from my experience with a Ford Mach E they’re starting to get it.
The interface, while not perfect, is not the kind of OEM junk I’ve seen from others. They’ve got working OTAs, although it’s going slow and they’re learning.
They may end up outsourcing a lot of that to Google’s Android based car platform (also called Android Auto?).
But they seemed to have learned from Tesla it’s an integral part of the car these days and not something you tack on at the end. It will take time but they are genuinely moving in the right direction at a reasonable (but not fast) pace.
