Cadillac CEO Johan de Nysschen
enough he’s openly griping about it.
In an interview with our friends at Yahoo Finance
, the CEO had a number of complaints about
, a system that, along with Android Auto, is rapidly becoming a staple of automotive infotainment.
Though he acknowledged the system’s potential, de Nysschen said CarPlay “is extremely clunky.” He highlighted issues he’s had with Apple Maps reacting too slowly for turn-by-turn navigation on the highway, app transitions that weren’t smooth, and some quirks he found when using voice commands.

. This is because Cadillac’s own infotainment system CUE, has not been loved by those of us at

. So before ripping on other infotainment, de Nysschen, maybe make sure your own system in order.
