MacRumor via Reuters reports: Apple unveiled a next-generation CarPlay experience at WWDC 2022, featuring support for multiple large displays, speedometers, fuel levels, climate controls, and more. Users will be able to personalize their in-car experience by choosing different gauge cluster designs and widgets, with the new version of CarPlay effectively offering a wholly Apple-designed experience for all of a car’s displays and functions. While the new CarPlay experience is designed so that users never need to exit the system, Apple said that automakers will be able to retain a sense of brand identity with the new system.
The former CEO of VW also remarked: “”I’m not sure if Apple will actually bring cars to the market in the end. It would be a big effort,” he said, adding that he believes Apple will focus on car cockpit software instead.”
