Apple CarPlay has officially integrated ChatGPT, enabling drivers to interact with the AI chatbot through a voice-centric interface on their vehicle's dashboard. This feature is available for iPhones running iOS 26.4 or higher and requires the latest update of the ChatGPT app. The design prioritizes safety by providing a voice-only experience, preventing drivers from reading text while driving. Users can issue verbal commands, and responses are delivered audibly, while a simplified dashboard shows recent voice interactions. Currently, drivers must manually access the ChatGPT app from the CarPlay home screen, as hands-free activation via a wake word is not yet supported. This integration marks a significant advancement in the use of conversational AI within vehicles, aligning with Apple's focus on safety and usability.
