Last week, General Motors CEO Mary Barra caused a stir when she said that the company would eventually kill Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in all of its gas cars<\/a>. The company had already successfully removed phone mirroring capabilities from most of its electric vehicles, and now it was plotting how to drop support from its internal combustion engine vehicles too. <\/p>\n

But today, the company is clarifying that this won\u2019t happen overnight. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not making any changes to existing vehicles,\u201d Malorie Lucich, a spokesperson for GM, said in a statement. \u201cIf your car supports Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, that will continue. Both will remain available in all GM gas-powered vehicles for the foreseeable future. As we advance toward our centralized computing platform, we\u2019ll gradually move to a better, more deeply integrated experience \u2014 a direction the broader industry is taking as vehicles become more software-defined. This will happen over time, not overnight. We value our collaboration with Apple and Google and remain focused on delivering experiences customers love.\u201d<\/p>\n

(The statement was originally provided to MacRumors<\/a><\/em>.)<\/p>\n

On the Decoder<\/em> podcast<\/a>, Barra seemed to suggest that the removal would happen as new models were refreshed. \u201cAs we move forward with each new vehicle and major new vehicle launch, I think you\u2019re going to see us consistent on that,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Now it seems like it won\u2019t happen until GM is ready to roll out the new centralized vehicle computing platform<\/a> it announced last week. That system, which reduces the number of control modules and improves the ability for over-the-air software updates, is set to make its debut on the Cadillac Escalade IQ in 2028, before moving on to the automaker\u2019s gas lineup. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
