Aston Martin and Porsche Preview Next-Gen CarPlay Interfaces
Greg S. Fink, reporting for Car and Driver:
This next-generation CarPlay builds upon previous versions by
integrating into all of the displays of a given vehicle and not
just the central infotainment screen. Though the familiar CarPlay
experience remains, multiple template options and special details
ensure the interface reflects the ethos of a given brand.
For instance, the preview of Porsche’s CarPlay interface shows
that it features a trio of circular gauges in the cluster and a
background wallpaper that mimics the brand’s distinct houndstooth
(or Pepita in Porsche-speak) seat pattern.
Aston Martin, on the other hand, goes a slightly different route.
Its cluster includes a central information screen bookended by a
circular speedometer and tachometer, the latter of which
integrates “Handbuilt in Great Britain” wraparound text. […]
This connection to the vehicle also means this new generation of
CarPlay can cohesively display information from the vehicle’s
native infotainment system (think tire-pressure information and
the like), as well.
Not a false alarm like back in August — these really are the first announcements of support for the next-generation CarPlay that Apple announced at WWDC 2022, just under the gun for the promised “before the end of 2023”.
