What Are Automakers Replacing CarPlay and Android Auto With?
Instead of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automakers are rolling out a range of in-house and collaborative infotainment platforms designed for deeper integration and richer experiences. Examples include GM’s Ultifi system, Mercedes’ sophisticated MBUX, and the open-source Android Automotive OS (distinct from Android Auto). Some brands, like Stellantis, are also partnering with Amazon Alexa. These platforms aim to deliver seamless connectivity, advanced navigation, and personalized features—reshaping the digital driving experience.
