GM thinks MotorTrend “misrepresented” its own executive’s comments about CarPlay and Android Auto.

In an email to The Verge, GM communications director Anna Yu said his comments weren’t accurately reflected, calling Apple and Google “valued” partners. She added:

GM’s embedded infotainment strategy is driven by the benefits of having a system that allows for greater integration with the larger GM ecosystem and vehicles.
