Apple is reportedly working on integrating third-party AI apps like Google Gemini or ChatGPT into its CarPlay interface.
Apple may soon make it much easier to use OpenAI’s ChatGPT in your car. Anonymous sources told Bloomberg earlier this week that Apple is working on integrating third-party AI apps into its CarPlay interface, which allows users to project a stripped-down version of their iPhone interface on the vehicle display.
Drivers were already able to interact with apps like Google Maps, Apple Music, and Apple’s own AI voice assistant, Siri, but this could be the first time third-party apps like Google Gemini or ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude could be made accessible without tricky workarounds. This means that users who aren’t sold on Siri could use apps like ChatGPT for tasks like restaurant or hotel recommendations in whatever new town or city they are driving through, all without leaving the CarPlay interface itself.
