carplay is an in-car system released by Apple Inc. in the United States, which seamlessly integrates users' iOS devices and iOS experience with the dashboard system. carplay only supports iPhones with a Lightning interface. Although iPads now support this interface, Apple has not listed iPads as hardware devices supported by CarPlay. There are three main ways to control carplay: 1. You can communicate with the car through Siri, instructing the car on what to do next. You can also hear the system announce messages received on your phone and reply using voice dictation; 2. Some cars that support carplay are equipped with a touchscreen display, allowing you to open or close applications on a fairly simple home screen; 3. The car has physical buttons, which is one of the ways to control carplay. Controls such as volume adjustment and track changing are seamlessly integrated.
I've been driving for ten years, and CarPlay is a set of in-car systems developed by Apple, allowing your iPhone to seamlessly connect to the car's screen for using apps like navigation, music, and calls. For example, after plugging in a USB cable or connecting wirelessly, the car's display will show commonly used apps like maps, Spotify, and WeChat. You can control them directly by tapping with your fingers or using voice commands with Siri, making it safer to drive without getting distracted by your phone. Once, I drove long-distance to the suburbs at night in the rain, and CarPlay's real-time navigation guided me around traffic jams while I listened to music and chatted—never once touching my phone the whole way. It was so convenient. Although it requires a compatible car, most new models support it, and it's much more stable than just using Bluetooth.
