Apple showed off the next generation of CarPlay during WWDC 2022, and wow does it look stunning. The complete CarPlay takeover of the infotainment display, dash controls, and more tease us with Apple Car vibes.

iOS 16 does include a few updates to CarPlay, however, and these features are available to everyone with the software update.
