Apple CarPlay Ultra: Delayed Luxury, Divided Opinions

Apple's CarPlay Ultra, featuring customizable dashboards and real-time diagnostics, is finally arriving, but exclusively in high-end Aston Martin vehicles. The delayed launch (six months behind schedule) highlights the challenges of developing car software across diverse platforms. This segmentation risks widening the gap between owners of new and older vehicles. The automotive industry is also split, with some manufacturers like GM and Mercedes-Benz moving away from CarPlay entirely. While CarPlay Ultra offers customization, the trend towards screen-filled dashboards raises concerns about driver experience and safety.
