CarPlay has been around since 2014 and has been receiving feature updates often.
Though you can set up CarPlay for multiple iPhones in the same vehicle, you can only use one of them with CarPlay at a time.
If your car automatically connects to the driver's iPhone, there's nothing you need to do, but if it picks the passenger's phone for projecting CarPlay instead, you'll need to manually switch the connection back.
Some manufacturers, like Hyundai, let you switch CarPlay or Android Auto connections on the go.

The article, shortened and in plain language
CarPlay has been around since 2014 and has been receiving feature updates often. Setting it up is easy and, outside of occasional connection issues, CarPlay tends to work without needing any troubleshooting — well, until you have a passenger with an iPhone that had before been paired to your car. Though you can set up CarPlay for multiple iPhones in the same vehicle, you can only use one of them with CarPlay at a time.
Let's say two people with CarPlay-paired iPhones get into the same car. If your car automatically connects to the driver's iPhone, there's nothing you need to do, but if it picks the passenger's phone for projecting CarPlay instead, you'll need to manually switch the connection back. Depending on your car manufacturer, the process to pick a different iPhone for CarPlay will vary.
Some infotainment systems let you pick a preferred or primary phone that gets priority whenever there are multiple paired iPhones in the area.
Some manufacturers, like Hyundai, let you switch CarPlay or Android Auto connections on the go. You could also try using a wired CarPlay connection to see if it forces your car to prioritize the iPhone that's physically plugged in over another phone that's connected wirelessly; however, Reddit users have not had much luck with this method.
