Apple CarPlay allows you to take your iOS with you while you are on the road. It is in-car technology that allows you to access your iPhone without having to touch it. Not only can you make phone calls and send out text messages, but you can also pull up your apps. You can even use Apple's assist, Siri. All you have to do is dictate to Siri to what you need. You can also control Apple CarPlay with the dials and buttons on your touchscreen.
One of the many great things about Apple CarPlay is that it has a simple set up. You can plug it in with a lighting cable into your USB cable. If your Apple CarPlay has a wireless set up, then you do not need a lighting cable. Your iPhone settings can tell you how to set up your Apple CarPlay.
