JAKARTA – Apple Inc. CEO, Tim Cook, announced a significant update to CarPlay at the 2022 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) event, Monday 6 June. They want to upgrade it from an infotainment system to a software solution that would allow drivers to control parts of their car and show more information like speed and fuel level.
The iPhone maker said it is talking to several automakers about bringing the new generation of software to their cars, which will be announced from late 2023.
Some of these things Apple is working on for CarPlay:
Dual Screen
CarPlay will support multiple screens in cars regardless of size and layout and will be able to display information including weather and navigation. This is seen in the image posted during the WWDC presentation.
Widgets powered by iPhone will be available on all screens in the vehicle including the instrument cluster, with various dial styles, layouts, themes, and colors.

Collaboration with Next Generation Car Developer
Apple provides a long list of automakers that can support the program. Among the leading names are Ford Motor Co, Renault SA, Mercedes Benz, Volvo, Honda Motor Co, and Jaguar Land Rover.
Integration with iPhone
With the next generation of CarPlay, drivers will be able to change temperature settings, use apps like Audiobooks, News, Podcasts, and tune in to the car radio without leaving the CarPlay interface.
The iPhone will communicate with vehicle systems in real-time in a "privacy-friendly way" to show driving information such as speed, fuel level, and temperature.
