Many startups have never offered screen mirroring features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and others are abandoning it. Not Stellantis!
Many drivers would rather stop, roll down the window, and ask directions than pull out their phone, look up an appointment’s location address, and enter it into a vehicle’s native navigation system. They also get pretty cross about trying to program in the podcast they were listening to as they walked up to their vehicle.vastly simplify these tasks, and they eliminate the need to learn how to program infrequently used rental, borrowed, or cohabitants’ cars.
Stellantis envisions selling apps and subscriptions that work on these screen-mirroring platforms, with mention of a geocaching app, and a new EV-route planning app we’re eager to try called e-ROUTES. This smart-phone-based EV-route planning platform is unique in its ability to draw information about critical factors such as battery state-of-charge and energy-usage rates directly from the vehicle via cellular link with the cloud.
Stellantis claims it is now connected to 13.8 million “monetizable” vehicles. It has distributed over 94 million over-the-air updates to these cars, but more important, the monetization alluded to has grown by a factor of 2.5 between 2021 and 2025. Those numbers comprise chart lines that Stellantis is keen to see continue climbing up and to the right.
