There is going to have to be some level of control given to CarPlay in order for navigation to (especially in the newer version of Super Cruise and the coming Ultra Cruise) to work.
Got a tip for us?

Outside of the car utilizing the Map info, not sure why that's a big deal? As long as GM has a way to transfer the Apple Map data/directions to the vehicle's computer so it knows where to go.
Well...that's the question...but who do you think will have the most updated road data? My guess would be Apple.
I would argue GM cause they are going to make us pay monthly (OnStar) to use Super/Ultra Cruise. But I would be happy to be wrong here.
Apple is the latest company to do a complete mapping of the US and is not so secretly developing tools for a driverless car. I would bet on them.
But unless iPhone is mandatory to operate the car, GM will have to provide their own data etc, so cannot see why they would just handover their premium features to Apple.
They wouldn’t, but if they could synch a request on CarPlay (Maps) to their own internal system, it could work.
