Ah, thanks. I assumed GM was just using Android Auto, I didn't realize they had models that used Android Automotive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Automotive#Vehicles_wi...

They’re using that as the base of their system. But they are still disabling Android Auto and CarPlay despite the fact it works perfectly. Other car makers have proven that.

They appear to think that using Android Automotive will give them access to a good App Store (?) and thus things will be good enough for people.

I await the fallout.
