Ford Motor Company's CEO James Farley Jr. says his company will Support CarPlay due to simple market demand
While GM has joined Tesla in opting out of integrating Apple's CarPlay in their future Electric Vehicles starting with the new Chevy Blazer EV or GMC Sierra EV Denali, Ford's CEO, James D. Farley, sees it differently.
In an interview with Joanna Stern today, Ford's CEO stated that his company is sticking with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Farley made a simple argument for his decision: "70% of our Ford customers in the US are Apple customers. Why would I go to an Apple customer and say good luck?"
