While Apple showed off a few screengrabs of its CarPlay
in-car iPhone and iPad integration system earlier, we finally have some
actual video of it in action. Not surprisingly, it turns your car's
dashboard into a big 'ol iPhone copilot.
Many of the
CarPlay screenshots released show it being used on a widescreen display
similar to using your iOS device in landscape mode. But this Volvo demo
instead shows it being used on a larger portrait-sized display, with
the iOS icons limited to the lower-half of the screen, while the Volvo's
UI occupies the upper half.
And that's interesting because it means the CarPlay interface isn't
going to necessarily replace or completely supplant your vehicle's
existing UI. It will simply provide a more driving-friendly means to
access your mobile device while you're on the road. It also means your
vehicle won't require a dedicated display for using your Apple toys, so
adoption by automakers should be relatively simple. [Volvo]
