    I think it might literally be a video feed? or similar to an X11 session? I know it doesn’t work over bluetooth and it requires a wire or wifi, so it’s bandwidth heavy for sure

      It is, both use a virtual display device over USB or Wi-Fi and send touch events from the screen to the phone.

      It’s basically a Display + HID interface from the car to the phone.

      That said, the software on the car side should be updatable over time as well, to fix bugs and add new features.

      If that’s actually the case: Neat

      Hope they do not drop support for the APIs to allow access via the interface so cars have a long life.

        There have been CarPlay compatible cars on the market for 8 years now and they work fine with newer iPhones. Hell, Apple still supports the iPod USB protocol for even older cars on new iPhones.

        It’s not much of a concern, in my opinion. And I drive a car with no CarPlay and only built-in infotainment lol
