"Apple CarPlay users may soon be able to talk to their favorite AI chatbot. Apple is reportedly working on how to support AI chatbot apps within CarPlay, according to Bloomberg, which cites anonymous sources. Apple CarPlay is an app that runs on an iPhone and wirelessly communicates with a vehicle's infotainment system. It projects some of the apps found on a user's phone onto the vehicle's infotainment display."
"Drivers are able to interact with these apps, including AppleMusic, messaging, and navigation, through its voice assistant Siri. Apple's next-generation CarPlay Ultra goes a step further, including the central touchscreen display and digital dashboard located right in front of the driver, and gives users control of certain vehicle settings. This latest move would theoretically bring Google's Gemini, Anthropic's Claude, and OpenAI's ChatGPT into the car, and at the risk of putting its own Siri assistant in the backseat."
Apple is working to support AI chatbot apps within CarPlay, enabling users to access conversational assistants from their phones through a vehicle's infotainment display. CarPlay runs on an iPhone and wirelessly projects selected apps onto a car's display while allowing voice interaction via Siri. The next-generation CarPlay Ultra extends the system to the central touchscreen and the digital dashboard and grants control over certain vehicle settings. Enabling third-party chatbots could allow Google's Gemini, Anthropic's Claude, and OpenAI's ChatGPT to operate inside cars and may reduce reliance on Siri for conversational tasks.
