CTOnews.com May 4, Ford CEO Jim Farley (Jim Farley) said in a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal that Ford has no plans to give up support for Apple's CarPlay and Google's Android Auto.

In an exclusive interview with host Joana Joanna Stern, Farley said: "70 per cent of Ford owners in the US are Apple users, so why should we make these Apple users unhappy?"

Foreign technology media MacRumors believes that if car companies such as Tesla and GM cancel their support for Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto, on the one hand, they can collect and control more information about car owners; on the other hand, they can also create new content profit points by building their own ecology.

Farley said that Ford focuses on safety, security, autonomy and productivity functions. CTOnews.com translated some of his interviews as follows:

In terms of content, we were the losers in the battle of the past 10 years. We need to face up to and accept this failure: car content does not bring too much profit.

Ford will focus on safety, security, autonomy and productivity functions. Therefore, the decision-making power of the content should be left to the owner himself. Unlike other automakers such as GM and Tesla, which want full control of on-board content, Ford does not want to get involved.
