Instead, Google built-in is running the 55-inch infotainment screen.

Y’know what would be great?
An industry standard system that would work properly with any type of phone, tablet or other mobile device.
Eh. I have no CarPlay in my 2016 Prius and the proprietary system they have only makes me almost crash my car 30% of the time I use it so I can’t complain.
Back to Bluetooth and Google maps on your phone after the free data period ends. Such a bad move for consumers.
Ladies and gentlemen… FROM the company that brought us “Cadillac CUE” (all-capacitive-buttons information controls)…
…Something nobody wants!
I worked at a Cadillac dealership and I absolutely HATED the cars that had these. Barely functioned in the winter time
No problem, there are other cars to choose from.
55” infotainment screen, in a fucking vehicle? That’s what I have in my living room. 🤯
yeah but it’s like 5" high.
Lack of AA isn’t the problem, it’s the 130k for that hideous monstrosity.
I’m not the target audience for this to begin with, but I refuse to own a car ever again that doesn’t have Android Auto. What a bunch of anti-consumer bullshit. What are the odds GM starts charging a subscription fee to access apps on these vehicles?
We need a open standard fully open source alternative.
Why? They work with the phone you have.
Is it fully open source? That is the key, transparency.
Does anyone actually use either of those though? It’s always been more easy and convenient for me to just use my own phone.
Android auto IS using your own phone.
A crippled version of my phone.
What exactly are you doing on your phone while driving besides listening to music and/or using maps?
Listening to YouTube, playing music from my sd card. Changing routing instructions. Adding stops along the way. Avoiding highways, allowing highways. Asking what the exchange rate between the euro abd the dollar is. Asking if European chickens are smaller than American chickens. (And probably other things)
They’re both shit, hopefully cadillac will come up with something better
Yeah if there’s one thing car companies are great at, it’s developing wonderfully intuitive head units/nav units.
🤨🧐
