I like CarPlay and use it all the time but I really, really prefer real dashboards and real knobs and buttons to activate things. It is so much easier to use when not looking and it is less distracting plus it doesn't cause you to lose night sight adaptation in darker situations.

Mark my words: my next car will be an electric one that supports this CarPlay experience.
I thought it was finally going to be star-ratings for songs.
You could have an EV now that supports current wireless CarPlay, just sayin… I do.
Are you just asking everyone questions to get your comment count up?Since they aren't releasing the Apple Car?
None of your comments actually have content, breaking ToS
Dunno, the apple polishing cloth could use an upgrade.

I just realized that this year Apple Polishing Cloth did not receive a software update.
I guess I didn't read that as 'new vehicles', but you're probably right. My guess is this could easily be done by a software update(car's software), but doesn't mean they'll do that.
Oh would you stop — the cloth is still very much up to date!

At times I just rely on my Apple Watch Ultra for walking, bike riding and so on.
I don't think we'll have to wait for 2023 or greater cars. Most vehicles now support software/firmware updates that would allow the manufacturer to drop in an API for CarPlay. The question is, will they do it based on the demand? I certainly hope so, because this would be a game changer. I would gladly welcome Apple's UI into my vehicle over what's there now.
That's a very ignorant thing to say, considering my response to your comment was very much related to this article. Yes, I set a 500/day comment goal for myself, thanks for helping.
Ugh, no. But neither do AirPods, so I wouldn't expect a new cloth to launch with a black option any time soon. But one can hope...
Land Rover rolled out wireless Apple CarPlay as a free OTA upgrade last year and my vehicle received the upgrade despite being a year old. And over the last 2 years I have received numerous other enhancements for free courtesy of these updates. So you never know!
Would be nice if this new version of CarPlay could also commandeer the HUD, I find myself always opting for the Land Rover navigation solution because it provides guidance in the HUD.
I have no idea, but personally I think it will be used to promote the sale of new vehicles, so no. Just my opinion. Also, I've been teetering between the hybrid and electric Range Rover. I can get a hybrid now, but the electric will be sometime in mid to late 2023 (probably) so I might just wait for the electric version.
Strange that Ford F-150 was still the #1 selling vehicle in America for 2021 (40 years in a row) if, as you say, no one is buying it anymore. Ford Explorer was #14.
Then there's the Honda CR-V at #5, Honda Civic at #10, and Honda Accord at #16.
25 top selling vehicles so far through 3rd quarter of 2022? Not much different than 2021.
1) Ford F-150
6) Honda CR-V
14) Ford Explorer
17) Nissan Rogue
21) Honda Accord
22) Ford Escape
23) Nissan Altima
25) Honda Civic
Strange. Very strange when no one's buying them anymore.
I think mine did. But, since Apple doesn’t provide a way to see what version number you’re running, there’s absolutely no way to be sure.
"Anybody's A/C blowing warm after they updated to 18.1?"
Looking forward to cluttering my entire dash with all kinds of distracting widgets. Who needs to know how fast I'm going when I can have a lovable Pokemon running around in place of the speedo.
