1. Screenshot from article about GM phasing out Apple CarPlay for its own software: Larger problems reared up on a family road trip to Ohio for Thanksgiving. After a warning light randomly popped up on the main screen, apps kept crashing before the display blacked out altogether. With the system bricked, no settings could be changed for the 600-mile drive back to Des Moines, not even the SiriusXM channel, which was stuck on 1990s radio. “My 4-year-old is now very well-versed in my music taste,” says Waldron, who depended on his iPhone planted in the cup holder for the rest of the journey. Once home, Waldron’s Blazer went to the dealership where it stayed for a month as technicians tried to diagnose the glitches. He wasn’t alone: Press reviewers and numerous customers ran into major software failures and vehicle faults, forcing GM to ground the vehicle and halt all sales starting in December. As the weeks dragged on at the shop, a service rep asked Waldron if there was anything he could do to make the situation right. “I said, ‘Well, you could put CarPlay back in it,’ ” Waldron recalls. “The guy was laughing and said, ‘I have a feeling I’m going to be hearing a lot of that.’ ”
