BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Alphabet unit Google's refusal to let an Enel e-mobility app access its Android Auto platform can be considered an abuse of its market power, Europe's top court said on Tuesday in a ruling that could force Big Tech to make it easier for rivals to operate on their platforms.
In 2021, Italy's antitrust authority fined Google 102 million euros ($106.7 million) for blocking utility group Enel's JuicePass on Android Auto, software that allows drivers to navigate with maps on their car dashboards and send messages while behind the wheel.
