General Motors is cutting around 1,000 software workers around the world in a bid to focus on more “high-priority” initiatives like improving its Super Cruise driver assistance system, the quality of its infotainment platform and exploring the use of AI.

So they want to improve their shitty software.
And they want to explore AI.
And so they fire their developers.
Typical fucking corporate doublespeak. Companies cut as they grow, because they’re robber barons who are addicted to MORE.

So who is going to work on that now that they don’t have all of these software engineers?

The same GM that dropped CarPlay and Android Auto from all their cars for GM’s home brew infotainment just fired the guys who are supposed to build it?

Even if GM did actually sell something I’d want to drive, not having CarPlay would be an instant dealbreaker.
