What is Apple CarPlay?


The CarPlay can use the Cars console for rendering the iOS apps that are loved by the users such as Phone, Messaging, Music, Maps, iTunes Radio etc. User can either be satisfied with the existing map features available in the console or once the iPhone is connected, user can use the apps from the phone, it syncs up the recents from the phone and displays on the list. Car's default interface interaction system can be used for navigating through the display or controlling and invoking the app.

CarPlay uses iOS Siri system to interact with the Device to give instruct the system, such as Calling a number, navigating to a location with the help of map etc.

Regarding APIs, it is not exposed to the Application Developers yet and it stays as private ones as of this writing. there are few apps having access to this private APIs and those applications are Spotify, iHeart Radio, Beats Radio and Sticher. If notice, these apps share common behavior that they all stream contents to the device, the APIS might get exposed by the June when the WWDC announces it probably.

The major car manufacturer;s those who has adopted the car play as of now is Mercedez Benz, Volvo, Hyundai.
