General Motors has announced that it will remove Apple CarPlay and Android Auto from its gas cars. Both systems mirror a driver’s phone on the dashboard, letting users access apps like Google Maps, Messages and Spotify while keeping their hands on the wheel. It’s part of a broader industry shift that’s exposing a growing divide among automakers over how much control Silicon Valley should have inside their cars. The push comes as Apple rolls out even more ambitious versions of CarPlay, which is said to creep into the screen behind the steering wheel and display critical safety information like the car’s speed, tire pressure and fuel gage. For automakers, that’s a red flag. Many worry that giving Apple deeper access to their hardware could be giving up too much control. GM and other automakers like Tesla are now busy building their own in-house systems.
