GM's software boss, Baris Cetinok, discusses the company's approach to creating seamless user experiences in its vehicles. He emphasizes the importance of having a strong conviction to own and integrate all aspects of the vehicle's infotainment system, rather than relying on third-party platforms like CarPlay or Android Auto. Cetinok highlights Super Cruise as an example of how native integration can create a more magical experience for users, citing features such as map navigation that takes into account road conditions, battery levels, and energy-efficient routes. He also mentions the potential for Level 3 autonomy and robotaxis to require similar integrations.
