If you want to use Apple Car Play to use things like google maps, Waze, and other apps you will have to plug the phone in for full functionality. I would think you would have a cord and if not you should always have a spare and they are very cheap.
This depends on the car. My 2019 Audi uses a WiFi connection to the phone so no cable is necessary for CarPlay. It is possible that 2022 vehicles from any manufacturer may have the WiFi capability as well.
