Apple CarPlay Ultra vs. Google Built-In: How the Next-Gen Auto Software Rivals Compare

I would have been driving an hour of an hour Aston Aston Martin, as if the hunger panges are not taken out, I asked Siri (via Apple Carplay) I did not find a taco. But then I didn’t do another car on the planet: I asked Siri to blow up the hungry and make the air cold. This was the first vehicle with Aston Martin Dbx in 2025 Apple Carplay UltraImproved version of the company’s car program.

Apple made carplay ultra debut in 2025 last month in WWDC 2025, and this year’s version is the first vehicle to start with it (pairing with an iPhone in iOS 18.5 or later). As I drove the luxury crossovers around the luxury crossover, I argued with other features of climate control to check the pressure on the tires. As a result, Ultra gives you a deeper access to more in the car system, which is something good.

In May, Google i / O is reminiscent of a very new feature that has been declared in Google I / O: Google allows users to manage more car systems than users (Android Auto). Google installed, a new Volvo EX90 Sitting in a Power SUV, the Google program has offered this new integration: Climate control, Ecnabi AI warnings and car care problems.

However, the name explains: Google installed cars require Android’s cars to enter their cars. Comparative, Apple Carplay Ultra support will not require a multi-work to prepare vehicles to producers, only a multi-growing task processor will not require to do a lot of work to add a processor. (Aston Martin will add Camy Ultra support to 2023 and 2024 through firmware updates, because they have already developed CPUs already.)

Both solutions reflect different approaches to the next versions of Apple and Google’s car program. Apple’s, visible, requires less liability from the automotive manufacturer’s car manufacturer, will work with a paired iPhone, the vehicles (as much as it is enough). Google requires more integration, but you can leave your Android phone at home and still can get your own functionality (except for sending messages and calls).

Driving with Apple Carplay Ultra: Control the climate, radio and more

As I walked around the Apple Carplay Ultra, I could say how much my new features would be missing, as I went around the Los Angeles.

Finally, I could ask Siri and to ask me to call a certain song (or just a group) and attributed it in Spotify. Since Apple’s assistant is now accessing climate control, I asked to turn the AC and went to a complete explosion. I wanted to find the tacos and offered several fast food restaurants – well, not perfect, but at least listening to.

To control the fan speed, temperature, stereo volume, temperature, stereo volume and car countless ways of driving), Aston has protected physical buttons to protect physical buttons. Now things like radio controls (AM / FM and satellite) and car settings, builds nests in their own recognized applications in the carplay interface.

As a result, Carplay will be one of the greatest advantages of Ultra: If you enter an unfamiliar vehicle (as a rent), you know exactly where everything is. Wrestling with a carmaker’s property program or try to understand some setting or where the other is. This is not completely replacement – Aston Martin has a handful of parameters that you can’t open a luxury car manufacturer and open applications that open Apple and return to Apple’s interface.

A valid Ubiquiti of Apple’s Carplay program is most likely, as Aston Martin will be even more important for changing analog tools for cars for analog tools. The steering wheel is still a touch on the standard screen on the standard screen, the signature style is still a touch, the two traditional calls containing two traditional calls (for RPMs) are displayed. However, for other styles, for other styles, other styles can be changed to the selection of full screen maps from other collections containing customizable colors.

Each of the choices in half or so many dashboard was driven through square touchpads, which is smaller than a penny in the steering wheel next to other touch controls. I slide vertically to make a central square (maps of maps, current music or other applications with data, current music or other application data) in double accumulated display types, or switched to another dashboard. If you choose, all warning lights that can recognize the undercover cars, all warning lights that are even digital displays are not valid from the inspection engine (a good thing).

Apple Carplay Ultra doesn’t do anything I still want. I wish the SIZI is also Windows (more Google can be installed, then more) and to lock or open specific doors. Apple, if you connect to the engine reading, if you join the engine reading, if I joined the pressure in each tire, if I could tell me what kind of maintenance. Heck, as I can connect the car remotely and explode AC before some ownership cars (or blast the hot part of the seat. Although Apple Maps and Waze Launch is included, Google is not supported, not Google map support.

These are not large shortcomings, and they can better respond better in future updates in future updates, despite the potential announcement of carplay ultra for ultra, remote climate or locking capabilities. But today today it shows where Google is a deeper approach.

Google Interior: deeper car integrations – and of course the twins ai

After Google, the key to I / O was calmer in May, because the participants fled between sessions and demos in the focus of the upcoming programs. The higher-level Volvo EX90 was the ideal time to check the installed Google installed on Google installed in accordance with the Power SUV (although approximately an ASTON Martin).

As mentioned above, Google has deeper integrations with vehicles, which allows you to change the climate through the users’ interface or allows other systems to other systems, including voice requests. For example, it can go beyond the hungry controls to switch to the deforer, and even to raise cameras in the position of the speaker), when I remember the window, “he said,” he said.

Google’s internal, as well as the company’s “Google Live”, as I can, in a live session, the demonstrator wanted to be more suitable for the Siri, “Giving off suggestions for a family trip” and asked for a “giving off suggestions for a family trip.”

The protester then asked for the recipe advice from the twins – “There is chicken, rice and broccoli in the refrigerator, what can I do?” – As an example of a survey may ask at home in someone’s house.

Since you logged in to your Google account, twins can contact anything related to it as email and messages. Each car manufacturer was also trained in user guidelines, so the driver may ask what the driver means from a voice assistant – every warning shifts with a dense hand to try to understand what warning means.

Google has other benefits as you do not need your phone for some features. However, as if the car program needs to be updated, there are deficiencies such as needing more work to be sure of cars or exploits, as if they need to require more work at the end of the cars. It is not only able to fix it in the most pressing version of Android – to support the adjustments to older versions where vehicles can still continue.

With Google Interior, this is deeper integration, Apple Carplay ultra (familiar interface, easy access to features), simply has a lot of more bent. Of course, it benefits the fans of al-favorable controls, and naturally behave in the Dovetails naturally with Google investment. However, a larger trust in Android in the automotive system can be viewed as a vehicle: Will the software support support? Will safety exploitation be slow or exposed? There are a large number of questions about the opening of cars for the interfaces of the car programs.
