Some car companies are not waiting for 2023 for the new CarPlay
CarPlay makes iOS apps and services available on the touchscreen infotainment display. In this way, it is aimed to prevent the distraction of drivers who do not have to use their phones to access the applications they want.
Music and navigation apps can be controlled via Apple CarPlay, as well as basic Apple services such as Siri. At the WWDC 2022 event, Apple announced that CarPlay will be completely renewed and will have a much more advanced version.
