Recently Porche has rejected Google's Android Auto in favour of Apple's CarPlay for the 2017 911 Carrera and Carrera S models due to data collection concerns.
Both systems allow users to connect to a car’s infotainment system via their smartphone but according to a few articles, including one from Motor Trend, Google's Android Auto supposedly demanded data such as the vehicle’s speed, throttle position, fluid temperatures, and engine revs from Porsche whereas Apple’s CarPlay system only checks the car's powertrain control module to make sure your vehicle is moving.
Google states that the listed data will not be collected by them and that “users opt in to share information with Android Auto that improves their experience, so the system can be hands-free when in drive, and provide more accurate navigation through the car's GPS."
Android is currently winning in the AndroidAuto vs Apple CarPlay poll but will Porsche’s rejection of it change your mind?
