Apple Messes with CarPlay, Bigly

CarPlay has been around a long time, car technology and in-cabin instrumentation have evolved a lot, so I can understand the need to update CarPlay.
I see a lot of potential for good with Apple’s major update to CarPlay, but also a lot of ropes for the designers to hang themselves and take the driver’s focus and driving experience with them. Not sure I want car manufacturer to delegate basic instrumentations to CarPlay. Fingers crossed for good, stable implementations.

Not in a place where I can listen to the audio, but this iteration seems very dependent on the car’s ability to access the phone and vice versa. That’s a very small number of cars. In fact, none or todays cars can do what I see in the (silent) video, though I understand BMW (Mercedes?) is in negotiation to change that.
This is a LONG way off from being common.
I love CarPlay, and my wireless adapter works perfectly with my 2017 car.

That kind of distraction on our dashboards will be deadly.
I agree. Might as well have porn hub on the screen. That should get your rpm’s peaking.
