iOS 27’s CarPlay update adds video support, smarter voice control with Siri AI

Apple just released the beta version of iOS 27, and it comes with a handful of changes for people who use CarPlay. The update focuses on making the voice assistant more useful and giving drivers more options for entertainment when parked. The biggest change is how the voice assistant works. It now has a new look on the car screen. Instead of taking over the whole display, it shows up as a soft glowing circle near the bottom of the screen. The colors are more muted compared to older versions. But the real upgrade is under the hood. The assistant can now answer questions more like ChatGPT or Google Gemini. It understands follow up questions much better too. For example, you can ask about a restaurant, then ask what time it closes, and it will know what you mean. In early tests, this works much smoother than before.
