As the automotive industry continues to shift towards more advanced infotainment systems, Apple is now poised to revolutionize the way we consume video content inside our vehicles.

As the automotive industry continues to shift towards more advanced infotainment systems, Apple is now poised to revolutionize the way we consume video content inside our vehicles. A recent video by YouTuber Thomas Dye has provided a first look at the video streaming capabilities on Apple CarPlay, courtesy of the latest iOS 26.4 beta. This feature, currently available to developers, promises to bring a seamless video streaming experience to Apple CarPlay users.
According to Dye’s video, users will be able to AirPlay any compatible video to their car’s infotainment system, opening up a wide range of video apps, including Netflix, YouTube, and more. This is a significant improvement over existing video streaming apps, which often require specific vehicle systems or subscription-based services. The addition of an Apple TV app within CarPlay takes this to the next level, allowing users to browse and stream content from their Apple TV subscription directly from their vehicle.
However, this new feature also raises concerns about safety. As vehicles become increasingly reliant on infotainment systems, there is a growing risk of drivers attempting to use these features while driving. Apple will need to implement robust safety measures to prevent this from happening. Android Auto, currently the only rival to Apple CarPlay, does not support video playback, but it’s likely that Google will soon follow suit with its Chromecast technology.
While an official release date for this feature has not been announced, it’s likely that we’ll see it roll out in cars before the end of the year. With the growing importance of entertainment and connectivity inside vehicles, this feature is sure to be a game-changer for Apple CarPlay users.
