Apple’s next-generation CarPlay Ultra is causing a split in the automotive industry. This immersive system takes over multiple screens in vehicles and integrates functions like speedometers, heating, cooling, and radio controls. Some automakers, including Aston Martin, Porsche, and Ford, have adopted or plan to adopt CarPlay Ultra, while others like General Motors and Hyundai are either blocking or unsure about it. Many are cautious about letting Apple dominate the vehicle’s digital interface, especially as they invest heavily in their own advanced software systems. Customer demand for CarPlay is strong, but automakers seek clear standards on data sharing with Apple before full adoption. Major players like Volkswagen and Toyota have yet to announce their stance on CarPlay Ultra.
