Apple eyes gas purchases from car dashboard
STORY: "We've been working with automakers to reinvent the in-car experience."
After a sneak peek at Apple's developer conference earlier this month, Reuters has learned that the tech giant wants you to start buying gas directly from your car's dashboard as early as this fall, when it rolls out the newest version of its CarPlay software.
A new feature will allow CarPlay users to tap an app to navigate to a pump and buy gas straight from a screen in the car, skipping the usual process of inserting or tapping a credit card.
Details of Apple's demo for developers have not previously been reported.
But Texas-based HF Sinclair, which has 1,600 gas stations across the United States, told Reuters that it plans to use the new CarPlay software and will announce details in coming months.
Fuel apps are just the latest in a sustained push by Apple to turn your vehicle into a store for goods and services, a push likely to increase tensions with automakers that have ambitions for in-car commerce of their own.
Amid record high prices, the average U.S. household is estimated to spend nearly $3,000 on gas in 2022, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
