Apple announced their new Apple CarPlay at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this week. We have already seen a promo video of this new in-car feature from Volvo, which has generated significant excitement among tech enthusiasts and car lovers alike.
Now, the guys over at Engadget got to have a look at Apple CarPlay running in a Ferrari. Have a look at the video below which shows us how the system will work.
Features and Functionality of Apple CarPlay
Apple CarPlay is being shown off at the Geneva Motor Show in Volvo and Ferrari cars. It will also be headed to a number of other car manufacturers later this year. CarPlay is designed to provide a safer and more intuitive way to use your iPhone in the car. It allows you to make calls, send and receive messages, listen to music, and get directions, all while staying focused on the road.
One of the standout features of CarPlay is its seamless integration with Siri, Apple’s voice assistant. This allows drivers to control many of the system’s functions using voice commands, reducing the need to take their hands off the wheel or their eyes off the road. For example, you can ask Siri to read your messages aloud, dictate a response, or even set reminders and calendar events.
Partnerships with Major Auto Makers
Apple has formed partnerships for CarPlay with some of the major auto makers, which include Land Rover, BMW, Jaguar, Hyundai, Ford, GM, Peugeot Citroen, Honda, and more. This broad range of partnerships ensures that CarPlay will be available in a wide variety of vehicles, catering to different tastes and budgets.
In addition to these partnerships, Apple is also working on making CarPlay available as an aftermarket solution. This means that even if you don’t have a brand-new car, you may still be able to enjoy the benefits of CarPlay by installing a compatible system in your existing vehicle. Companies like Pioneer and Alpine are already offering CarPlay-compatible head units that can be installed in a wide range of cars.

Future Prospects and Impact
The introduction of Apple CarPlay marks a significant step forward in the evolution of in-car technology. As more and more car manufacturers adopt this system, we can expect to see a shift towards smarter, more connected vehicles. This could have a range of benefits, from improved safety and convenience to enhanced entertainment options for drivers and passengers.
Moreover, the competition between tech giants like Apple and Google (with its Android Auto system) is likely to drive further innovation in this space. This could lead to even more advanced features and capabilities in the future, such as deeper integration with other smart devices and services, improved voice recognition, and more personalized user experiences.
