The current UI standards for the next generation of CarPlay are designed to be highly flexible and customizable, adapting to the specific features and configurations of different vehicles. Here are some key points:

  1. Vehicle State Protocol: The UI relies on the vehicle system to provide up-to-date state information, which is then reflected in the UI. This ensures that the UI is always aware of the state of the car and can display relevant information accordingly (Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture).

  2. Customization: The next generation of CarPlay allows for deep customization to match the unique capabilities and design preferences of different car models. This includes flexible layout systems, customizable backgrounds, color theming, and dynamic content that combines vehicle info with CarPlay features (Say hello to the next generation of CarPlay design system).

  3. Local and Remote UI: The system supports both local UI, which is rendered with low latency and responds to high-frequency car signals, and remote UI, which brings a rich iPhone experience to the vehicle (Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture).

  4. Climate Control UI: The next generation of CarPlay includes a full-featured climate control UI that can be customized to accommodate a wide range of vehicle models with different features and capabilities (Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture).

  5. Driver Display: The driver display is a central element of the co-branded experience, allowing automakers to express their own visual design philosophy within CarPlay, creating a unique look tailored to their brand and vehicles (Say hello to the next generation of CarPlay design system).
