Ford Plans to Stick With CarPlay as GM Moves to Phase Out Support
“70 percent of our Ford customers in the U.S. are Apple customers. Why would I go to an Apple customer and say good luck?” he said.
Farley was commenting on car manufacturers that do not support CarPlay, like Tesla and General Motors. Tesla has never added CarPlay support into its vehicles, and GM earlier this year announced plans to phase out support for both CarPlay and Android Auto starting in 2023.

GM plans go with a built-in infotainment system co-developed with Google as it transitions from combustion vehicles to electric vehicles. CarPlay will be available in non-electric models, but GM ultimately has plans to switch to an all-electric lineup by 2035.
iPhone users have been asking Tesla to support CarPlay for years, and unsurprisingly, GM’s announcement has not been particularly popular with those who are in the Apple ecosystem. By removing control of the infotainment system from Apple, GM and Tesla have access to more data about their customers, and can also push vehicle-related digital subscription services.
Farley doesn’t think there’s money to be made in the content that car owners consume in their vehicles, with Ford instead focusing on safety, security, autonomy, and productivity features.
In terms of content, we kind of lost that battle 10 years ago. So like get real with it, because you’re not going to make a ton of money on content inside the vehicle. It’s gonna be safety, security, partial autonomy, and productivity in our eyes. So that relationship for content is between you, The Wall Street Journal, and the customer. I don’t want to get in the middle of that, but Tesla and other companies believe differently. They want to have complete control over the interior experience.
Having a familiar navigation and infotainment system in the car is appealing to customers who don’t want to have to transition between two incompatible software setups, so GM’s decision to drop support for CarPlay and Android Auto will be off-putting to those who have become used to the way that in-car solutions from Apple and Google extend the smartphone experience to the vehicle. No CarPlay will be a dealbreaker for some customers, so it will be interesting to see how GM’s transition affects future vehicle sales.
Starting in 2023, Apple plans to roll out a next-generation CarPlay experience that will offer even deeper integration into new vehicles for manufacturers who choose to continue to offer CarPlay as an option.

Guerrilla subtly confirms a new Horizon game as its studio director moves on
To the surprise of no one, Guerrilla Games has basically confirmed that another Horizon game starring Aloy is on the way.
Earlier today Guerrilla Games shared a blog post announcing that studio director and executive producer Angie Smets is leaving the developer after 20 years to join PlayStation Studios as head of development strategy. The post obviously wished Smets well in her new role, but it also pretty nonchalantly confirmed that Aloy will be returning for another Horizon game at some point. “We have full confidence in our new leadership as they steer Guerrilla towards a bright future, expanding the world of Horizon with Aloy’s next adventure and our exciting online project,” reads the post.
Smets also offered a little goodbye message in the post, writing, “These past two decades at Guerrilla have been an absolute dream. I feel privileged to have worked alongside some of the smartest and coolest people in the industry. I’m so grateful for everything I’ve learned alongside all the other Guerrillas. We have accomplished so much as a team, and I’m incredibly proud of all the games we’ve shipped together.”

As US moves to regain microchip leadership, some say it never left
Over the past two years, microchip shortages highlighted America’s reliance on foreign suppliers, and spurred passage of the CHIPS Act, which earmarks tens of billions of dollars as incentives for chipmakers to build new fabrication plants in the US.
But remaking well-established manufacturing supply chains — notably in Asia — is a Herculean task, and “companies are loathe to do it,” according to Yossi Sheffi, an MIT professor of engineering and director of the school’s center for transportation and logistics.
Harry Potter TV Series For HBO Max Moves Ahead, JK Rowling Reportedly On Board
It’s still very early days and there is no confirmation that a show will ever be made, but Deadline reports that a Harry Potter TV series for HBO Max is moving forward with a major development. The site reported that author JK Rowling–who controls the creative decisions of the series–is nearing a deal to produce the show. The show could span seven seasons, each focusing on one of the books.
“Once she comes on board, the project, which is in nascent stages, is expected to look for a writer. As first reported by Bloomberg, the general idea is for each season of the potential TV series is to focus on one book in the Harry Potter book series, which consists of seven novels,” Deadline said.
There has been talk of a new Harry Potter TV series for some time, but this newest development seems to suggest it could actually happen. Nothing is confirmed, though. There is no word on casting, plot, or a release date for the rumored series, and WB has yet to confirm any official details.
