Porsche Chooses CarPlay Over Android Auto Due to Google's Data Collection Policy
Porsche Chooses CarPlay Over Android Auto Due to Google's Data Collection Policy - Mac Rumors
"There's no technological reason the 991/2 doesn't have Android Auto playing through its massively upgraded PCM system. But there is an ethical one. As part of the agreement an automaker would have to enter with Google, certain pieces of data must be collected and mailed back to Mountain View, California. Stuff like vehicle speed, throttle position, coolant and oil temp, engine revs—basically Google wants a complete OBD2 dump whenever someone activates Android Auto. Not kosher, says Porsche."
