ChatGPT Arrives on CarPlay, Android Auto Left Behind
CarPlay, Apple's in-car system, has taken a lead over Android Auto with the integration of ChatGPT. According to MacRumors, OpenAI has recently enabled CarPlay users to engage in voice conversations with ChatGPT. To access this feature, users need to have the latest version of the ChatGPT app and an iPhone running iOS 26.4.
Users can now ask questions to ChatGPT via CarPlay, although controlling the vehicle or the connected iPhone is not possible with this chatbot. This new feature enhances the appeal of CarPlay for iOS users.
Opening Up to Other AI Chatbots
Apple's iOS 26.4 update allows voice conversational applications to integrate with CarPlay. This paves the way for other AI chatbots, such as Claude or Gemini, to offer their services on this platform. However, Apple imposes strict restrictions: the application must be primarily voice-based and cannot use keywords like "Hey Siri."
An Alternative to Siri Until 2026
While waiting for the major Siri update scheduled for 2026, ChatGPT on CarPlay provides an interesting alternative for drivers. Apple has announced that this future version of Siri will be smarter and more conversational, thanks to the integration of AI technologies from Gemini, developed by Google. However, the development of this new Siri has been delayed, and its release is now expected in 2026.
The arrival of ChatGPT on CarPlay, facilitated by Apple's new rules, could encourage other chatbots to follow suit, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of CarPlay against Android Auto.
