This is the best summary I could come up with:
GM announced a new vehicle services definition called “uServices” for the automotive software developer community.
In essence, uServices is meant to serve as GM’s own API for other software developers to build apps that can work across multiple lineups of vehicles.
The auto industry has been on a hiring spree over the past several years, scooping up thousands of software developers in the hopes of bringing more technical sophistication to their fleets.
The recent Silicon Valley layoffs have afforded those companies even more of an opportunity to build up their ranks of coders, engineers, and tech-savvy workers.
GM’s contribution to this effort is Ultifi, a software platform that will start to appear in vehicles later this year.
The company says that the end-to-end software platform will enable OTA updates, in-car subscription services, and “new opportunities to increase customer loyalty.”

They better have even stricter guidelines than Apple. I don’t need some script kiddie running god knows what while I’m blasting down a freeway.
