It also announced a new \u201cfueling and driving tasks apps\u201d feature<\/a> that you will actually be able to use once the update is released.<\/p>\n Fueling and driving task apps<\/strong><\/p>\n Fueling and driving task apps are available in CarPlay. Your favorite apps that help you fill your tank and provide you with road information, toll support, towing help, and more can find a home in CarPlay.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n This week, Reuters<\/em> reports at least one gas chain has an implementation of the feature in its pipeline<\/a>, enabling a new way to find gas stations and pay at the pump using just your car\u2019s infotainment screen. Developers at the gas companies have to enable the CarPlay feature for their iPhone apps, and the customers will need to make an account for the gas chain and add a payment method.<\/p>\n Dallas-based HF Sinclair Corp, the parent company of Sinclair Oil<\/a>, plans on letting customers buy gas from the dash. The SVP of marketing for the company, Jack Barger, said they\u2019re excited about the idea that customers could navigate to a Sinclair station and purchase fuel from their car\u2019s screen. The company has over 1,600 gas stations.<\/p>\n It won\u2019t be the first time a driver can activate the pump from their seat \u2014 Exxon teamed up with Ford<\/a> to make its Speedpass Plus app work on the automaker\u2019s Sync 3 infotainment system. GM also took a shot at the feature with Shell stations<\/a>, but the app was shuttered earlier this year when its in-car shopping app Marketplace was discontinued<\/a>.<\/p>\n Modern gas stations have tried adding features to their pumps that support phone apps, and tap-to-pay readers are more common than ever, but in some instances, companies like Exxon didn\u2019t initially make it convenient<\/a> \u2014 the Speedpass Plus app for iPhone included Apple Pay, but you couldn\u2019t simply use a standard Apple Pay tap at the pump. The company even later removed the Apple Watch Speedpass plus app.<\/p>\n Electric vehicle charging apps like ChargePoint and Electrify America already work with Apple CarPlay<\/a>, allowing you to find stations, get directions, and start charging at selected stations, all from the infotainment screen of your car. With iOS 16 launching this fall, we can expect to see more opportunities for in-car e-commerce to go with Apple\u2019s expanding vision for apps in the connected car.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
