Apple iOS in the Car coming soon

Many of today’s cars feature a touchscreen infotainment system of some sort, with a number of them looking remarkably like a high-end tablet device. So it was only a matter of time before the two technologies converged.
This vision appears to be a little closer to reality now, with images and a video leaked on Twitter appearing to be show a highly advanced version of Apple’s much-rumoured iOS in the Car feature.
It’s not entirely clear how app developer, Steven Troughton-Smith, sourced the images, but with the new version of iOS set for release soon, the timing would appear to fit.

What is Apple iOS in the Car?

iOS is Apple’s mobile operating system, and it first appeared on the iPhone in 2007. Today it is used on the likes of the iPad, iPod Touch and of course, the iPhone. The system uses an interface based on multi-touch gestures, including swipe, tap and pinch. iOS in the Car seeks to add drive to this list.
Apple announced iOS in the Car last year, when it released iOS 7 - the latest version of its mobile touchscreen operating system.
In essence, iOS in the Car will allow an iOS-enabled device to effectively take control of the in-car display. Which - depending on your view of Apple products - will either be a huge step forward, or a reason to be slightly scared.
