Apple plans to let you pay for gas using CarPlay

In the meantime, Apple is working with partners to support a new feature that will allow users to pay for gas with their phone.

While the ability to purchase fuel using CarPlay was first revealed during developer sessions at WWDC earlier this month, it didn't get a lot of attention until recently when an energy company announced plans to implement it at its gas stations in the U.S.

More specific details will be released in the coming months, but the basic idea is that users will be able to purchase gas with an app in their phone. You will need to download the app and enter your payment info in order to get started. You'll be able to select a specific pump from your navigation screen once everything is set up.

Apple's push to support buying gas digitally comes amidst larger efforts to integrate more third-party services as the company looks to expand the role of its automotive platform. The strategy could have an even greater impact than Apple's efforts to design its own EV, according to an analyst.

Dediu said that Apple Car is not a big deal. It is very probable that it will scale to millions and millions of cars. Competition among in-car infotainment systems is heating up as a result of a number of upgrades to theANDROID AUTO.
