Apple CarPlay will revolutionize driving experience

Apple announced their solution to car device operations problem in the form of CarPlay. With it comes Siri-based voice control and touchscreen navigation of all of the tasks you might want to perform on your car. CarPlay will allow you to listen to music on your iPhone, or stream from Spotify and iHeartRadio. Instead of the clunky navigation experience found as an “upgrade” in cars, you get hands-free Apple Maps navigation. And you can take calls, and even send texts via dictation.

CarPlay features Siri voice control and is specially designed for driving scenarios. It also works with your car’s controls — knobs, buttons, or touchscreen. And the apps you want to use in the car have been reimagined, so you can use them while your eyes and hands stay where they belong.

At launch this year, you’ll see CarPlay in select cars from Honda, Hyundai, Ferrari, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, and Volvo. Expect to see cars announced with support for it at the Geneva Motor Show this week. And if your favorite car manufacturer wasn’t on that list, don’t worry: Broader support from BMW, Chevrolet, Ford, Kia, Land Rover, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Subaru, Suzuki, and Toyota is coming too. In order to use CarPlay, you will have to own an iPhone 5 or later, though, so keep that in mind.
