Chuck Joiner, Dave Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Marty Jencius, Mark Fuccio, Web Bixby, Jim Rea, and Eric Bolden wrap up a MacVoices Live! discussion by looking at GM going all-in against CarPlay in favor of their own vehicle information/entertainment system and claiming the will achieve better integration. The conversation transitioned to a broader look at vehicle operating systems, as well as some of the fines that are being levied by other countries, whether they fit the offense, and if there was an offense at all.
