Apple CarPlay Next-Gen Is Putting Google On Notice
By DAVE MCQUILLING
During the 2022 WWDC keynote, Apple announced that it is expanding CarPlay in order to make the most of a modern vehicle's layout. The company has promised a high level of functionality and customization with their new release — for instance, displays can be set to feature important driving information like rpm, fuel levels, temperature, and speed.
Pre-set instrument cluster options will also be available, featuring different dial styles, models, and colors, which Apple claims will range from “modern to traditional.” The presentation emphasized that the next generation of CarPlay would allow Apple users to “make the core of the driving experience” unique to them.
In developing the new version of Car Play, Apple says it has worked in collaboration with numerous high-profile automakers around the world, including Ford, Land Rover, Audi, Porsche, Nissan, Honda, Polestar, and Volvo. Apple also says the next generation will include even more features than they announced at WWDC — so Google has been put on notice!
