It wasn't all that long ago that GM's executives called taking CarPlay out of vehicles a "Jobsian" move. They've caved to public pressure, and the option is present in some 2027 gas vehicles. The interface is expected in the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks. Based on the description by GM, it comes with gauges, hands-free driving, and more. All of this feels like Apple's new CarPlay interface. There will be 60 inches of screen space in the new vehicles, with a screen for videos for the front-seat passenger.

GM hasn't offered the interface in electric vehicles for three years, and it's not clear if the option will be restored. Gas-powered cars retained the option, but there were plans in motion to pull it from there as well. Apple is apparently part of the retention.

"We listen to our customers, what they want, and, going forward will still have projection in our trucks," said GM's executive director of connected apps and services Michael Wahlstrom. "We worked with both Apple and Google to develop a new split screen that includes the projection experience right next to the native experience."

The news was first revealed by Bloomberg, but not by Mark Gurman.
