These days have been testing, the biggest feeling is that the entertainment system of each car has been very perfect, but different companies have different technical reserves, and the intelligent experience reflects the huge difference.
I summarize in a sentence is that the poor rely on Bluetooth entertainment, do almost rely on the Carplay system to interact with the car system entertainment, the top car machine system through the network to interact with the user.
At present, the car that relies only on Bluetooth entertainment basically does not exist, and as long as the price is 70,000 or 80,000, the entertainment system is definitely more abundant, just to see who does it better.
In my opinion, apple's Carplay in the past has done a very good job, has always been a configuration that I have pleased, and its excellence is reflected in two points, one is that the function is still rich, and the other is that the operation is very simple.
The way to use Carplay is very simple, pick up your Apple phone plugged in the interface data cable, do not need any operation screen directly pop up the Carplay interface, of which navigation and music two functions are the most practical, the interface is clear and the operation is very smooth.
Both of my cars have Carplay, so I still have to use an Apple phone, which has become a habit, which is very good.
Even if I am a deep fan of Carplay, I definitely do not think that Carplay is the best car machine system, and from the current feedback, Carplay has several shortcomings that cannot be solved.
First, Carplay is still just a simple entertainment configuration, it can not monitor the vehicle itself, not to mention remote complex operations, not intelligent enough.
Second, due to the characteristics of the connection with the mobile phone, Carplay can not do networking, is still a very closed system, I can not use the voice to retrieve the most popular, I want to listen to the most songs, still need to operate the mobile phone, on the other hand, voice navigation is even more impossible, temporary transition must stop with the mobile phone to switch navigation.
At present, the most mainstream smart cars, in fact, are not equipped with Carplay at all, such as the current intelligent do very good several cars, BYD's high-end dynasty, Tesla series, ideal, Weilai, Xiaopeng and other major series, and even in the configuration of the Carplay configuration is not planned.
The reason is simple, because after the deep experience, you will find that Carplay has no attraction at all in front of their smart car.
Carplay is only for the kind of car upgrade capabilities that use Bluetooth for fun, but Carplay is relatively closed after all, in the face of a new generation of car systems with richer functions, better user experience, higher openness and better intelligent experience, Carplay is a very closed product.
For example, I can use a speech system with a very high recognition rate to spend 3 seconds to tune out music, and I can use their head-up display to project lyrics and road conditions ahead, which Carplay doesn't have.
Smart cars are a very experiential thing, and once this sense of experience is composed, there is no need for Carplay, which was specially created for entertainment.
What car needs Carplay, that is, the kind of ordinary car that does not allow the cost and the technology cannot be done, but it is necessary to make its entertainment characteristics not backward, and the intelligent equipment can only choose the Carplay + central control large-screen program.
In the market, 50,000-level products are equipped with the most Bluetooth, 100,000-level products are equipped with the most Carplay, and 200,000 can not see the shadow of Carplay, which is the truth.
If it evolves into a version, Bluetooth belongs to the 1.0 version, Carplay belongs to the advanced 2.0 version, and the smart cockpit belongs to the more advanced version of 3.0.
