In-car apps are officially a thing. Technically, they have been for years, as companies like Ford laid the groundwork with systems like Sync. But now, the key players are involved. Apple announced iOS in the Car in June, and according to a new report, Google and Audi will announceplans to bring Android to vehicles at CES next week.
It's about time. I can't be the only person who relies far more on Google Maps via my phone than my car's own in-car navigation system. Although the system's navigation hardware, complete with a retracting touchscreen, is excellent, the maps are dated and the manufacturer wants tocharge me $200 for an upgrade, which must be performed manually via DVD.
