The thing that kills me about this sort of thing is the complete lack of accountability. Working class people at assembly plants, dealers, suppliers will all feel the sting from the drop in sales. There’s some dipshit MBA at GM who made and pushed this decision. Any rational person could see that GM is not is a position to push their own infotainment system. Car play and android auto are beloved. Not having one or both is a deal breaker for new car purchasers. We will never know who this person is. Making such an outrageously bad business decision should result thing this person being blackballed from any kind of business role. But that will never happen.

I won’t touch this with a 10 foot pole. Stupid.

If they really wanted to make a play at beating CarPlay and Android Auto, they should make a superior product, but include both of the alternatives in the car. As a customer, I would still consider buying the car if it included CarPlay. I won’t even consider it with this, which means I won’t even be in a position to try GM’s alternative. It’s too big of a risk to spend $30-40k on a new car and hope their custom infotainment isn’t trash and works nicely with all the data and apps I have in my smartphone.

I can’t say I was inclined to buy a GM before but now I’m absolutely not going to buy one. The problems described in these reviews are safety issues.

I can honestly say that the phrase "my radio was stuck in a boot loop" is something I ever thought I'd need to say, but here we are.

Side note, you know what would be just absolutely perfect? Just Bluetooth. I don't need to watch Disney+ while I drive. I don't need up-to-the-minute notifications of the hottest celebrity news. I don't need sports updates. I don't need to know what my stocks are doing right now.

I just want to play music.

I struggle to imagine spending twenty minutes on the side of the road troubleshooting my car's touchscreen, rather than just driving and dealing with it later. Maybe a quick reset, sure, but not more than that.

Who could have imagined that this might happen?

I mean, yeah there’ve been dozens of articles from unbiased analysts suggesting that GM was not in a position to take on this task, especially since Apple CarPlay and Google Android Play have already accomplished what’s necessary and are available to nearly 100% of GM’s customers, but a company the size and scope of GM couldn’t possibly be expected to listen to any of this analysis over these many months.

GM products are complete garbage. Avoid at all cost.

GM: I removed Android Auto and replaced it with Android Automotive

Wow one more reason not to buy GM not that I was planning on it to begin with.

I expect nothing less. And even if they do make the software stable and usable it will be quickly ruined by micro transactions and subscriptions for basic functionality.

Trash software from a trash company.

The deep sleep by walking away is infuriating.

Give me an option to reboot entirely from the settings menu

Whaaaaat?! No way! I don't believe it!

(.../s for those that need it)

Yeah. GM doesn't care about how good it is. Making it good is expensive. They can keep it crappy because you don't really have any choice (other than buying from another manufacturer that will do the same). Plus they make money selling your data.
