Everything new coming to CarPlay in iOS 27
CarPlay's most meaningful update in years is hiding behind the Siri AI headlines.
Car, Transportation, Vehicle

Apple barely talked about CarPlay at its WWDC 2026 keynote, giving most of the spotlight to Siri AI and the broader Apple Intelligence additions in iOS 27. But that doesn't mean CarPlay is a no-show this year.

The Cupertino giant buried most of the CarPlay updates in a developer-only video, and, as it turns out, there's genuinely more here than you would have expected. As a CarPlay user myself, I'd say some of these features are long overdue, while others tag along with the broader iOS 27 redesign.

We just got a hot signal that a Tesla and SpaceX merger could happen, after all
Tesla

For years, the idea of Tesla and SpaceX becoming a single company has lived somewhere between ambitious business theory and Elon Musk fan fiction. The two companies already share DNA, leadership influence, engineering talent, and long-term goals. But every time the topic surfaced, it felt more like an interesting thought experiment than a realistic possibility. Now, one of the most important people at SpaceX has added fresh fuel to the conversation.

Speaking in a recent CNBC interview, SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell was asked about the possibility of closer ties between Tesla and SpaceX. Her response wasn’t a flat-out denial. In fact, she suggested that bringing the two companies together could make life a little easier for Musk. That may sound like an offhand comment, but coming from Shotwell, it’s noteworthy. She’s been at SpaceX since its earliest days and remains one of the company's most influential executives.

According to a recent Wired report, a growing niche market has emerged around figurines and gadgets designed to trick Tesla's in-cabin camera into believing an attentive driver is sitting behind the wheel. The most popular version involves miniature celebrity heads, often resembling actors or public figures, mounted near the rearview mirror to block the camera's view of the actual driver.
