Carmakers Push Back Against Apple’s Takeover of the Dashboard
- Several major carmakers, including Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Polestar, and Renault, announced they will not support Apple’s CarPlay Ultra system despite earlier plans.
- The change comes amid worries about software control and revenue, with Renault warning Apple against interfering with their internal systems.
- CarPlay Ultra integrates all driver screens with iPhone apps without sharing vehicle data, as seen in Aston Martin’s implementation.
- Apple claims standard CarPlay is in 98% of new US cars with over 600 million daily uses, but only Aston Martin currently offers CarPlay Ultra production vehicles.
- This resistance suggests CarPlay Ultra will face slow adoption as automakers prioritize software control while maintaining support for standard CarPlay.
