The benefit of this native setup is that, like Tesla’s system, it can be integrated with the rest of the vehicle controls and optimized for the full sound experience.
Even if we don’t see an actual Apple Car any time soon, we could see a partnership that allowed a version of CarPlay as standard.
While there is a long list of cars that are compatible with Apple CarPlay, there are none that run the software natively without needing your phone. The new GMC Hummer electric is due to run this natively, as will a number of Volvo, GM and Renault cars. Android Automotive is an operating system that runs directly on in-vehicle hardware. The answer, perhaps, is cars with Google’s or Apple’s system built into the car already, and there are models that have this. And because it’s been built as a system, the speaker array is designed to work optimally with it to get the best sound. The screen is large enough to access on the move and to see all the functions clearly, including the map – you can even game on it. You don’t have the disconnect of a phone taking over your monitor, your phone pairs into the existing system. The whole entertainment system in the Tesla Model S Plaid, including the instrument cluster and in-car settings, are all integrated into a single system. While it doesn’t need to be any more than a monitor when taken over by your phone, without it you probably still want a decent interface to access digital radio channels and your vehicle controls. Anything smaller than an iPad is very difficult to use on the move, and not many cars have a 10-inch screen as standard. While anything that offers CarPlay or Android Auto will have a touchscreen, not all touchscreens are equal.
