General Motors has announced a gradual phase-out of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto across its entire lineup, regardless of powertrain—gasoline, diesel, or electric. In place of third-party solutions, the company plans to roll out its own dedicated digital platform designed to knit together in-car services and raise overall comfort for drivers and passengers.

The decision was officially confirmed by GM CEO Mary Barra, who said the core aim is to build a single, unified vehicle interface optimized specifically for electric-vehicle owners. According to the company’s leadership, an in-house digital ecosystem should deliver a better user experience and make it easier to interact with the car’s services. The logic here is straightforward: tighter integration is easier to achieve when software is native to the vehicle.

New GM vehicles will be equipped with an infotainment system based on the Google Auto platform. The transition will unfold over several years and will cover roughly forty of the brand’s current models. The strategy’s endpoint is full integration of all vehicle functions and components through a centralized computing module, a milestone the company has slated for 2028. It’s a long runway, but it underscores a clear commitment to a cohesive, built-in software experience.
