This Decoder episode is infuriating. I expected to hate-listen to it, and HOO BOY was I right.

As expected, Nilay asked about GM's intention to ditch CarPlay/Android Auto. The excuses and justifications that Sterling Anderson and Mary Barra are just heaps of shit. In particular, Sterling's assertion of “nobody uses iPhone mirroring" is both incorrect and built on a foundation of false equivalence.

God damnit this makes me so unnecessarily angry.

@caseyliss I have a 2017 Chevy Bolt EV and irs by far my fav car I’ve ever owned. But the CarPlay decision alone has guaranteed that I won’t get a Chevy as my next car. I have 0 trust in GM to make a good in-car system. I’m even hesitant on a Rivian because of that same issue but their system seems at least halfway decent.

@monkeyclaw @caseyliss Agreed! The 2023 Bolt still has CarPlay just FYI😏
