GM Replaces Android Auto With Centralized Platform
General Motors says it will replace Android Auto and Apple CarPlay with a conversational AI powered by Google Gemini, delivered via OnStar, and roll out a centralized computing platform in 2028 starting with the Cadillac Escalade IQ EV. The platform will unite propulsion, steering, infotainment and safety on a single high-speed core, boosting bandwidth by 1,000× and OTA update capacity by 10×. This enables vehicle-aware features like charger routing and SuperCruise integration.
