Automakers Reject Apple's CarPlay Ultra Dashboard Integration

Automakers Reject Apple's CarPlay Ultra Dashboard Integration

Apple has created a new system called CarPlay Ultra that wants to take over your car's dashboard, showing things like maps and music.

However, some car companies like Mercedes, Audi, and Volvo, are saying no.

They don't want to give Apple complete control of their car's screens and instead prefer to offer their own systems.

These car companies believe they can offer a better digital experience than Apple.

Aston Martin is the first carmaker to use CarPlay Ultra.

Apple thinks that people will love CarPlay Ultra so much that car companies will have to use it eventually.
