If that’s actually the case: Neat
Hope they do not drop support for the APIs to allow access via the interface so cars have a long life.

Die4Ever@programming.dev 1 year agoI think it might literally be a video feed? or similar to an X11 session? I know it doesn’t work over bluetooth and it requires a wire or wifi, so it’s bandwidth heavy for sure

There have been CarPlay compatible cars on the market for 8 years now and they work fine with newer iPhones. Hell, Apple still supports the iPod USB protocol for even older cars on new iPhones.
It’s not much of a concern, in my opinion. And I drive a car with no CarPlay and only built-in infotainment lol

It is, both use a virtual display device over USB or Wi-Fi and send touch events from the screen to the phone.
It's basically a Display + HID interface from the car to the phone.
That said, the software on the car side should be updatable over time as well, to fix bugs and add new features.
