CTOnews.com, April 25 (Xinhua)-- in order to boost the confidence of automakers and consumers, Apple recently announced that more than 800 models in the US market support CarPlay to meet the different needs of consumers after the automakers General Motors and Rivian announced that they do not support CarPlay.

CTOnews.com Note: Apple's Chinese official website still shows more than 600 models, and it is expected that the relevant data will be updated later.

At last year's WWDC developer conference, Apple said 79 per cent of US buyers would only consider buying CarPlay-compatible models, covering 98 per cent of models sold in the US. Apple proudly announced at the conference that "the CarPlay has become standard for American car owners."

Apple plans to launch a new generation of CarPlay later this year, which will send content to multiple displays in the vehicle, allowing users to control the radio and adjust the environment of the car directly through the CarPlay.

In addition, users will be able to customize their driving experience through the new generation of CarPlay vehicles and choose different dashboard display interfaces. The new generation of CarPlay vehicles also add support for widgets, and users will be able to view quick views of weather App and music App directly on the vehicle's dashboard.

However, GM and Rivian announced that they did not support CarPlay,CTOnews.com to summarize the relevant information as follows:

General:

In an interview with The Verge, Scott Miller, GM's vice president of software-defined vehicles and operating systems, said he thought the Android Auto and Apple CarPlay were not the best infotainment experiences, but a stopgap measure.

Consumers' demand for the two systems reflects their desire for a better infotainment experience, but these projection systems are not the end, he said. He believes that if they can provide a better native experience, consumers will give up Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Rivian:

RJ Scaringe, CEO of automaker Rivian, recently made it clear that his electric cars will not fit with Apple's CarPlay.

Scaringe responded that Rivian doesn't want to hand over control of the car system to a company like Apple, but wants to build its own in-car system experience, which can be controlled by itself:

Whether it's music or maps, Rivian hopes to integrate multiple top platforms. In the process of promoting the experience upgrade, Rivian still has to play the role of arbitrator or chef, and has enough control over the car system. This is an important part of improving the user experience, and we will not hand it over to other companies.
