You enter the reserve, you use Apple CarPlay to search for the nearest distributor and then always with the same app, from the dashboard, you buy petrol, diesel or LPG directly from the car screen, skipping the usual process of inserting or tapping a credit card. Here is Apple’s idea that starting this fall, when the latest version of its CarPlay software comes out, it will start transforming the car into a kind of shop for goods and services.
And the applause for this new technology immediately broke out: Dallas-based HF Sinclair, which markets its gasoline at 1,600 stations in the United States, said it intends to use the new CarPlay technology right away, as the company has already opened CarPlay. to applications for parking, charging electric vehicles and purchasing food.

Fuel on the other hand is a major expense For car owners: The US Energy Information Administration estimated in April that the average US household will spend about $ 2,945 on gas in 2022, or about $ 455 more than last year. Apple does not currently charge car manufacturers, developers, or users for CarPlay and will likely always stay that way because Apple’s commercial interest is to turn cars into smartphones, to make purchases and payments of all kinds. In short, a much bigger deal than the much-heralded Apple car: what’s the point of producing a car if you can take possession of the “soul” of all those that are already in circulation?

From a technical point of view for use the new CarPlay feature this fall, iPhone users will need to download a fuel company app to their phone and enter payment credentials to set up the app. Once the application is configured, users can tap the navigation screen to activate a pump and pay.
“This is a huge market and consumers really want to eliminate friction from payments,” said Donald Frieden, executive director of Houston-based P97 Networks, which manufactures the digital piping that many fuel companies will use to connect their app to cars. Frieden said he received calls from oil companies interested in getting their apps to work with CarPlay. BP, Shell, and Chevron Corp have not responded to requests for comment as to whether they intend to make their iPhone apps work with CarPlay.
