This week, we were surprised by the news of the integration of Uber and Apple Car Playwith the announcement of a major update to its application for iOS.

Of course, performing these operations with the phone is not very practical when you are driving. For this reason, uber has announced that it will integrate Apple Car Play in your app for drivers.
In an email to the partners of uberthe company confirmed that drivers will be able to access the same functions directly through CarPlay.
To do this, drivers open the app uber driver in its iphoneconnect the iPhone to the vehicle by cable or wirelessly and CarPlay will display the Uber app on the vehicle’s dashboard.
uber stopped using the app apple watch for its clients in 2022, but it will launch a version of the app compatible with CarPlay that drivers trust.
In theory, any application of iphone can be compatible with CarPlaybut Manzana adheres to very strict requirements about what it will and will not allow before an app appears on users’ dashboards.
Navigation functions are supposed to uberwhich direct drivers to people who have requested a ride, are allowed.
However, the company will need to obtain approval from Manzana for other features, both in terms of functionality and design.
