Apple is preparing to allow other companies' voice-controlled AI applications to access CarPlay.

According to informed sources, Apple is preparing to allow other companies' voice-controlled artificial intelligence applications to access the CarPlay system, allowing users for the first time to interact with AI chatbots through the car's interactive interface. As the plans have not been officially announced, the anonymous sources said that Apple is advancing its work and aims to support these applications on CarPlay in the coming months. This adjustment marks a strategic shift for Apple - previously, in this popular car information and entertainment software, Apple only allowed its own Siri voice assistant as a voice control option. With this adjustment, artificial intelligence service providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google under Alphabet can now launch CarPlay applications with voice control mode.
