GM said it was going to drop Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in all vehicles, and now, that includes Cadillac’s latest EV.

I agree with you. CarPlay is a must have feature in 2023. I wouldn’t buy a car without a backup camera or parking sensors anymore, and I sure as hell won’t buy a car without CarPlay either. It’s such a bizarre decision by GM.

At least in the US I think backup cameras are required now. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Yeah, since May 2018

I think that’s true but the point stands, that’s an essential feature for a new car, as I believe CarPlay / Android Auto should be :-)

For sure! I wasn't trying to argue against your point, I just thought it was an interesting side-note.

In Canada they are

Especially once the next version of CarPlay is released that’ll control the full dash. It’ll make GM’s dash obsolete.

I'm not a fan of backup cams. But judging by how many people are, they should absolutely be included in every vehicle.

In the US they are a legal requirement now. I think starting with the 2019 model year.
