CarPlay??

Nothing advertised. I doubt there's much, it had that big change to multi display, which is still gradually rolling out. CarPlay is something where there's not a huge amount they can do anyway. I suspect at most you'll see some things get minor improvements, but otherwise, nothing until maybe next year.
Working in the auto industry, CarPlay is one of the most requested features. Apple really seems like they are dropping the ball with innovation in this sector. I feel like they could have demonstrated some of the AI features when using Siri in your car.
Wish they’d add the dark mode app icons for the CarPlay dark mode. That’s all I’d really want besides weather alerts
Problem with CarPlay is they need the car makers to do stuff as well and they arent all doing that. You have the likes of GM dropping it completely etc. Apple have introduced the function to cover more screens and integration into cars but that needs the car maker to do things as well.
I'm sure I saw them in my dad's car last week, but now I'm wondering if its the Mandela effect!
I had my husband check his car, he doesn’t do the betas, his car doesn’t have them showing.
For anyone interested, just had to wait for the announcement to drop:

I'd love to see the icon tinting effect on CarPlay screens. Rather than the toddler coloring book look, imagine a set of subtly tinted greyscale icons that complement the interior of your car.
Another interesting approach would be to create a "CarPlay" screen (with the above color option) as a screen on your physical phone.... to simply transform your phone screen into the CarPlay screen - for those who don't have a CarPlay enabled head unit and use some sort of iPhone mount.

on the dev beta and carplay is not resuming paused podcasts when i start my car like it used to. not sure if that is an intentional change or not.
They were really trying to cram in a lot during that keynote and not spending much time on any one OS. They didn’t really demo the Siri interactions as that functionality was probably not ready for public view, yet. It will be really interesting once they get the full app integration working in Siri. Then maybe we can see some demos of it working on CarPlay.
There were two separate breakout sessions that went over New CarPlay in depth: https://developer.apple.com/wwdc24/10111

We’re still at the stage of getting car manufacturers to add New CarPlay into cars. Until that happens there’s not going to be a lot in terms of innovation.
Porsche has been innovating in the current version of CarPlay with their own app that incorporates vehicle controls. I’d expect them to be among the first to adopt New CarPlay.

My Porsche App provides new features within Apple CarPlay®
Porsche becomes the first car maker to integrate vehicle functions within an app in Apple CarPlay® to create an innovative, personalized user experience.
Porsche and Aston Martin have already shown how their versions will look. AM’s will debut with the DB12 which goes on sale later this year. Porsche hasn’t said when their version will debut but I’d guess probably with the upcoming 718 EV or a next gen Cayenne or 911.There were two separate breakout sessions that went over New CarPlay in depth: https://developer.apple.com/wwdc24/10111

Polestar/Volvo has openly said they are open to supporting it but haven’t made any official public plans to so far. GM and Mercedes have publicly stated they don’t intend to support it.
Apple also listed Ford, Lincoln, Acura, Honda, Nissan, Infiniti, Jaguar, Land Rover, and Renault as partners last year, but they also listed Mercedes as a partner who has since withdrawn.
I think New CarPlay’s adoption will be MUCH slower than CarPlay 1’s
I don’t agree with you. I use CarPlay all the time and think it’s highly underrated. Apple’s done a fantastic job with it, and there’s all sorts of potential for improvement. Not that it needs improvement, but there’s a lot of potential for Even More Stuff.
I do feel though they could bring some of the 'new CarPlay' experience to regular/legacy CarPlay though, even if just visual/UI enhancements and think it's a pity they haven't.
My car has a very large wide screen for CarPlay and it's lovely, but I'd like some of what I've seen on the 'new' CarPlay in mine now like the Weather and other widgets. I'm not expecting vehicle stuff and know that only brand new cars can do that, but they could at least keep improving the experience for the rest of us too.
It would be nice to be able to design our own CarPlay dashboards a bit like how you make your Control Center etc, with widgets and features available for existing vehicles. For example I might like Maps 50% of the screen then the other two quarters be Music and Weather.

CarPlay gives me an option like that, although I don’t know if I can configure the two smaller widgets. Usually it’s Large Navigation, plus Turn Directions, plus Music. But I think sometimes it displays other things.
Yes, if you do a screenshot on your phone it will grab an image of both the phone display and your CarPlay display (at least, on my installation)
