Apple isn't playing that game...this is going to be available as an option in practically every car in the next couple of years. It looks like Apple is taking to a different strategy than Google and others. Rather than forcing iOS down car buyers' throats, the idea is to sell more iPhones. CarPlay is a very nice added value in that regard.

I'm just surprised it took this long for Apple to jump into the arena. IIRC, AN posters were predicting this stuff back in 2007.
