Carplay on your iPhone, Which you haven't used yet, May be a thing of the past

Carplay on cars is gradually being forgotten by people, but users who have used it know that it is really useful, but now fewer and fewer cars support carplay, and even many models originally equipped with carplay have canceled carplay function after upgrading, even their own car machines are not good. Car companies quietly canceled carplay. Why?

In 2013, Apple announced its entry into the automotive field and launched carplay in the following year. It only needed a data cable or wifi Bluetooth to connect the iphone to the car, and the car would immediately jump to carplay system with an interface very similar to ios. cup mainly relies on the computing power of the phone. So even if your original car system is stuck, as long as the mobile phone is no problem, then carplay can be used smoothly, and there is no advertising, especially in the era when navigation updates are charged, the car machine is stuck, and the operation is complicated. carplay is simply a dimensionality reduction attack on the entire vehicle system!

However, after Apple released the latest generation of carplay last year, a number of car companies such as GM, Ford, BMW and more and more car companies began to abandon carplay, the reason behind is very simple, Apple's ambition is too big. The new carplay interface is no longer limited to the center control screen, but will be connected to the dashboard of the car, and can even directly display the vehicle's oil temperature, speed, speed, and even seat ventilation, seat heating, and air conditioning temperature. In carplay can also be operated directly, the user is happy to use more convenient.

However, car companies are not happy, in order to take advantage of the latest version of carplay, car companies need to open a lower level of data interface to Apple, so that the whole car will soon be fully controlled by Apple, Apple can also collect a large number of driving data through carplay, these important data car companies can not easily provide to third-party companies. What's more, Apple, which wants to build a car, in addition, the use of carplay by car companies, in fact, wants Apple to pay the license fee, the specific amount is not clear, but according to Apple's working style to guess, it must be a small fee! Take a data cable for example, if it is not certified by Apple mfi, then this line will sell a few dollars, if you join the mfi certified chip, then the cost of this line will be close to 20 dollars.

To take away my data, but also I pay, the car company naturally quit, so cancel carplay logical. In addition, with the continuous upgrading of the car chip, many car companies have also begun to pay attention to the car machine, especially the domestic new power brand, in the car machine system this piece is doing very well. Maybe in a few years, carplay will become history, you want to experience carplay and other Apple cars listed, as to whether you can wait to get, I think the probability is very small!
