More importantly, GM choose not to join the International Navigation Data System in 2008 and still relies on their own coders to offer limited mapping systems. The members and board consist of proven leaders in this area (most with half a century of experience), which effectively created a bridge and partnership between the electronics and auto industries for the benefit of all involved. This was not a bad thing ultimately, as the INDS was limited to mapping only, while the public is more familiar with Google maps, but is why GM does not have a good system today. GM chose the alternative as a broader, more open source platform many are familiar with, Android. GM is a part of the OAA membership, so we'll see Google maps eventually, once a software version is approved by DOT and NHTSA. The final Android Car system however, has not completed by the Open Automotive Alliance (this is not led or remotely controlled by GM). The technology currently has many bugs to work out and other concerns; internet access, tethering, lollipop, OS security, hacking vehicle systems and voice recognition just to name a few. |
