My wife and I have been shopping new cars lately and there is something
going on there too. Apple is showing up in a lot of new cars these days
and I understood manufacturers were reluctant to add the Apple "Car
Play" systems to their infotainment systems. I recall when there were
only about 5 car companies that offered this feature. Now this is
offered in brands that I have never heard of. I can see a stink coming
from the big suppliers of GPS software that car manufacturers have been
using. With Apple Car Play you no longer need to buy GPS. Your Apple
Phone will display the Apple Map application on the big radio display
and steer you most anywhere you want to go.

Anyway

What you said was well said and an excellent point of view!

Not just Apple. Some are using Android and the maps in mine are
provided by Google.

My car has an 11" display on the dash and also shows the next turn in
the Heads Up Display. Much nicer than any phone or small GPS can show.
