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.
