What Is This Site About?

CarPlay World is all about CarPlay, Apple’s infotainment software for cars.

CarPlay is a car-oriented, voice-centered version of iOS that’s meant for use in vehicles.

We believe CarPlay will move into the autonomous automobile era, either remaining on infotainment duties, or maybe assuming a greater role in actual piloting the vehicle.

Wouldn’t that be something.
