The “next generation of CarPlay” that Apple first announced in 2022 and, as MacRumors points out, that the company continues to say on its CarPlay webpage will arrive in 2024 is MIA.
The next generation of CarPlay deeply integrates with a car’s hardware, providing content for multiple screens within the vehicle.

So far, we’ve only seen changes like CarPlay mapping directions appearing in the instrument cluster in cars from manufacturers like Polestar, Porsche, and Lincoln.
Porsche and Aston Martin had announced their cars would be the first to get the new CarPlay, but both recently declined to give Wired a timeline for its rollout.
Other companies that Apple said would support its new CarPlay have been noncommittal about the software since it was announced. Some have closed the door on full support more forcefully since then, like when Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Källenius told The Verge’s Nilay Patel in April that Apple won’t be taking over all the screens in its cars.
MacDailyNews Take: The “next generation of CarPlay” was a marker in the sand. A marker that car makers seem to have driven around, past, or over in 2024.
