CTOnews.com November 15, Volvo CEO Jim Rowan (Jim Rowan) recently spoke publicly about GM's decision to abandon CarPlay in an interview with The Verge.

Rowan said that Volvo will not kidnap consumers, but will provide its customers with the right to freely choose in-car infotainment systems, and users can choose Volvo cars, Apple CarPlay or Google Android Auto according to their preferences.

Luo Wen talked about the future of CarPlay in the interview, CTOnews.com translated as follows:

The Android Auto experience is great and has been recognized by most car owners, but we also offer Apple CarPlay and Volvo OS options.

So the owner has three options, and you can use the basic Volvo OS, Android Auto and CarPlay.

About General Motors' decision:

I don't think this is the right decision, and we will never do so.

I don't think GM has 3.5 billion users using a product every day, and it won't be used 200,300 times a day. What car owners want is a simple, easy connection experience. So whether it's Android or iOS, this vision is the same.
