DETROIT (AP) — General Motors has hired a former high-ranking executive at Apple to run a new software organization at the automaker.
Mike Abbott is joining GM as executive vice president of software on May 22, the Detroit manufacturer said Tuesday. He'll report directly to CEO Mary Barra.
GM and other automakers are looking to software as a major revenue source in the future as fleet and other buyers seek vehicle diagnostic systems, partially automated driving software and other services.
