The real reason automakers are ditching Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (www.motortrend.com)

TLDR: Automakers want a piece of the data harvesting pie. But don't worry they assure us it's just to improve their products. You know, like the infotainment they're building, that they wouldn't need to build if they kept phone integration.

So what they're doing is a good thing, is that what you're saying?

no. i just want my car to have it's own working infotainment system and i am myself against android auto or to have to rely on that. would there be an open standard for an open infotainment system that would be something else. in my case i also trust the manufacturer more than google. so i am against "they should stop making infotainment systems we have AA and CarPlay"
