???? Mercedes-Benz AG joins GM in refusing CarPlay aboard its cars ?? Criticized for its choice of ditching CarPlay, and even more after multiple software bugs in its in-house Ultifi system, GM is gonna feel less of a loner after being rallied by a significant ally: Mercedes-Benz. ?? More precisely, it's the 2nd-gen CarPlay (expected this year) that you won't see in Mercedes' cars, as Ola Kaellenius, CEO, details to The Verge : "Our so-called Mercedes-Benz operating system is really the central nervous system in the brain of the whole car, of which the infotainment is one of four domains. [...] If you want that to be perfect, integrated, and seamless, you don’t want to jump between different worlds — “Oh, I’m now in the infotainment. Well, let’s jump back to Mercedes,” and so on and so forth." ?? Meanwhile, Bloomberg enlighten us on what motivated General Motors to turn down Apple. In a nutshell: arrogance and selfishness. Phil Abram, ex-Chief Infotainment Officer at GM : "Some people care about ‘win-win.’ Apple just cares about ‘win.’ If you win, too, cool. If you don’t win, cool. It’s not even malicious. They just don’t care." ?? Okay some reading and listening for your week-end then! The Verge ITW of Ola Kallenius: https://lnkd.in/eqAA2rWu "Will GM Regret Kicking Apple CarPlay off the Dashboard?" by Bloomberg: https://lnkd.in/eAwf_Che #carplay #ev #infotainment

While this article from C&D is 2 years old, most of the details are still true, and the OEM world has not moved much further since. Witness VW/Rivian/CARIAD as an example, or recent layoffs in Software at GM. AutoMobility Advisors #softwaredefinedvehicle #sdv #harderthanitlooks

General Motors (GM) is facing challenges as it tries to build its own integrated infotainment app for its cars. The company, which abandoned CarPlay, made the move to into what they believe to be $25 billion market without capabilities to execute effectively - which often leads companies to fail. Unfortunately, GM's previous investment in OnStar did not provide the lessons learned necessary for its current bet on Ultifi. Read more about GM's struggles in this area in the article below. #theagiledashboard

looks like I am not alone mulling these thoughts. With the BE series from Mahindra, are the customers transitioning from premium to more sophisticated and feature studded vehicles?
The Secret to China Speed Is Simple (But Not Easy): I Help Fix Your Automotive Software Operations—Happy Developers, Happy Quality Managers, Hassle-Free ASPICE Compliance
I always wanted an Audi. But now, my first brand-new car will be Chinese. Why? Because Chinese OEMs just build better cars now. ?? Hear me out: German premium cars? They feel…boring. Their infotainment systems already feel outdated when they hit the market—no wonder, they’ve been stuck in development for 2–3 years. Meanwhile, the interiors coming from Chinese OEMs? Those aren’t just flashy CES prototypes. They’re real. In production. On sale. And they work. ? Snappy. ? Lag-free. ? Seamless. You can even drag and drop a movie from the rear screen to the passenger’s screen and back. Like magic. The user experience? 10/10. It makes you feel valued, special. German OEMs? They just can’t compete. Here’s why: ? They’re stuck in their ways, designing cars for a market that doesn’t exist anymore. ? They can’t deliver features that span multiple ECUs, screens, or domains—because they’re siloed. ? They lack vertical integration and efficient processes. ? They’re trapped in 90s-era development practices, where “teams” means “walls.” The Way Out It’s simple—but not easy: 1. Tools for Seamless Collaboration: Break the silos. Build a single, transparent platform where everyone—from product managers to system architects to engineers—collaborates in real time. 2. Unchain Transparency: No more “this is PM’s responsibility” or “this is engineering’s job.” Everyone has visibility and works toward the same goal. 3. End the Silo Era: Collaborate across ideation, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance. One team. One tool. One goal. That’s what’s happening in China right now. That’s why they’re building better cars today. So, what do you think? Is this the future German OEMs need to survive? Or is it already too late?

This is exactly what we need to REFORM in Power Tool's development as well! In the past, we always heard engineers said "we are waiting product requirements from marketing..." or marketing said "this is engineer's duty to deliver what marketing wants..." Let's break silo from now and work in ONE TEAM -> everyone has the same goal!

End silos? True. But the question is: how to succeed at ending silos, unchaining tech, and seamlessly collaborate? Many think it’s just re-organizing and changing processes. But that consistently fails. The simple, but not easy, change is that in culture. Trusting employees? Hard. Welcoming failed experiments? Hard. Leading with a clear vision? Hard. Giving them actionable steps to make this culture change is the first and crucial step. And it's our job as coaches. Then we can hit Lukas' three important points, because now they fall on fertile ground. And then we can compete. #agile #leadership

In an era of software-defined EVs, after Audi, outsourcing smart-driving technology(EV’s soul) to a China’s supplier is a tough decision for Mercedes to swallow. This case study offers some deep insights into China Strategies, playing offensive and mitigating risks!

I went to #Germany to see a showcase of new #Chinese #cars. It was eye opening, the tech innovation in these vehicles was clear. While Germany and much of the world have embraced cars made in #China, the #USA is taking a more #protectionist strategy. In the post below, Lukas Timm lays out a call to action for OEMs. Breaking down silos and increasing transparency = agility. What do YOU think?? Is #America smart to protect our domestic automakers? Full disclosure, as an American manufacturer, I'm rooting for our domestic automakers. And as a lifelong #German #car owner, it'll be tough to change my mind!

#Shareholder value is the problem. #Corporations no longer make #products. They make something that they can sell for a high price that has most of the actual #value removed from it. Just enough of a product so their operation is not a complete #scam. If you watch car crash videos, these modern cars just shatter into plastic shrapnel at the smallest of incidents ready for insurance to total it out. All while we have people at companies like Munro Live who glorify the cheap engineering and cost savings. (Aka stealing all value and #repairability the end user actually #paid for.) Snap-together assemblies are cheap and shoddy and anyone who would rather have that over a few screws is a crazy person who just likes to throw away and buy new with no #sustainability concepts. Snaps do break regardless of the amount of care and living hinges do in fact die in the same light. Holes and screws can be reused almost indefinitely especially with care. #RightToRepair #ProductQuality

I am by no means a purist, but adding more and bigger screens to a car does not, unfortunately, make it better. History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes, and I think we'll see a return to more discrete screens, head-up displays and dual-view screens soon. Chinese SUVs with giant grilles and 40-inch screens will look hopelessly archaic a couple of years from now. Not to mention that many of the Chinese brands sold in Europe today won't exist for long, so good luck getting those screens (or anything else) replaced. The likelihood of large brands like BYD acquiring failing brands and taking over warranty and liability is slim - if they're not acquiring a market share and they already have the technology and manufacturing capabilities they need, why would they do that? It's going to be Fisker x 100 x 10 different car brands. Mayhem.
