OpenAI's chatbot can't control car functions. If you want to adjust the cabin temperature or skip tracks, you'll still need Siri for those tasks.

The electric crossover's battery can be preconditioned for fast charging when using Apple Maps on CarPlay, allowing drivers to stick to Apple's interface for the entire trip.

It wasn't seamless, and frankly, in some cases, it could be distracting to move back and forth if you were doing something that you could do on a phone projection type of system, versus if you needed to do something in the vehicle, GM CEO Mary Barra said on The Verge's "Decoder" podcast in October. But there's now a solution for all the Apple CarPlay power users out there that also happen to own a GM-made EV that doesn't have their go-to smartphone mirroring feature.

If your car supports Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, that will continue. Both will remain available in all GM gas-powered vehicles for the foreseeable future. As we advance toward our centralized computing platform, we'll gradually move to a better, more deeply integrated experience - a direction the broader industry is taking as vehicles become more software-defined. This will happen over time, not overnight. We value our collaboration with Apple and Google and remain focused on delivering experiences customers love.

The new design extends into the car for a consistent, expressive experience while you drive. This includes icons that look great in light or dark mode.
