Why are BMW cars, suddenly, launching without Android Auto or CarPlay? This might strike a lot of people as strange; BMW cars in the past have supported these services. It seems weird that cars are now launching without them and promising to deliver them at a later date. Well, strangely enough, it’s due to this ongoing chip shortage.
