That's a real dealbreaker. I've never seen an in-house media/nav system better than Apple's, and I don't expect GM's to be any different.

It’s not only that, but your phone already has all your data. Calendar appointments, addresses of contacts, music, podcasts, etc.

Do replicate this, you’d either need to sync all of that to your car, or migrate to Google’s ecosystem… maybe both.

With the track record of automakers and data privacy, I don’t know who would knowingly do that. It also seems like a giant pain when nearly every other car doesn’t ask the buyer to make this kind of choice.

Also, doing the communication would require cooperation from Google and Apple. Who have their competing systems, and don't want to cooperate with every car makers who wants to build their own system.
