📱 Apple opens CarPlay to AI apps as ChatGPT launches on iOS 26.4

Apple added a new app category in CarPlay with iOS 26.4, allowing voice AI assistants. On March 31, OpenAI released ChatGPT for CarPlay as the first major app.

The interface is fully voice-based. No text or visuals on screen. Users open the app from the car display, speak, and hear responses. It mirrors the iPhone voice mode but adapted for driving. Activation is manual via the icon.

Support for other assistants like Claude and Gemini was reported earlier in February.
