On: GM plans to phase out Apple CarPlay in EVs, with Google's help

That number seems insanely high, are people really going to pay for the privilege of getting maps when they can get them for free on their phone?

I would think a lot of people would just get a phone holder for their car, or just choose another car.

I mean GPS's charging for map updates hasn't been mainstream for 10ish years?

I agree with you, I honestly don't know what they expect people to pay for:

> Alan Wexler [...] indicated that consumers were willing to pay up to $135 per month on services for their vehicles

I'm sure they're working at this backwards, in that there's this bucket of money sitting there, and how to charge $135/mo to get at it.
