A lively MacVoices Live! panel debates GM's CarPlay removal—using a shaky Steve Jobs analogy—arguing the real motive is subscriptions and data. Chuck Joiner, Marty Jencius, Web Bixby, Jim Rea, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Eric Bolden, and David Ginsburg contrast Toyota's deeper CarPlay/Maps EV integration and note renter demand, plus which brands still lack it. Also covered: Google Pixel 911 call problems, an Atlas browser clipboard flaw, and Neato ending cloud support early for robot vacuums amid Roomba's struggles.  MacVoices is supported by SurfShark.
