how do I design for carplay

To design for CarPlay, you can refer to the sessions "Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture" and "Say hello to the next generation of CarPlay design system" from WWDC 2024. Here are some key points and resources to help you get started:

Customization and Flexibility:
- CarPlay allows for extensive customization to tailor the look and functionality to each vehicle. This includes creating custom UIs, settings menus, and alerts.
- Automaker apps run on iPhone, leveraging the full power of iOS to create rich and custom UIs. You can update the experience over time (Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture).
Design System:
- The next generation of CarPlay is designed to adapt to any vehicle's configuration, supporting a deeply customizable design system that can reflect your brand's visual design philosophy (Say hello to the next generation of CarPlay design system).
- The system supports unique instrument cluster layouts and allows you to surface various iOS and vehicle content in the driver display (Say hello to the next generation of CarPlay design system).
Technical Implementation:
- For a more technical look, you can refer to the companion talk by Tanya Concheva, which dives into the architecture and technical details of implementing CarPlay features (Say hello to the next generation of CarPlay design system).
APIs and Features:
- CarPlay builds on modern architecture with features like enhanced Siri, buffered media playback, and HEVC video streaming. It is a wireless-only experience, ensuring seamless reconnection and performance (Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture).
- You can use APIs to define custom settings, highlight features, and integrate them into the CarPlay experience (Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture).
