We all know playing with your phone while driving is a big no no, and now Apple is taking
steps to help you stay hands free. Finally!
It's called CarPlay and will be available with the next iOS 7 update on iPhones 5, 5c
and 5s. CarPlay will allow you to "get directions, make calls, send and receive messages and
listen to music." All you have to do it "just plug in your iPhone and go." (Via Apple)
But there is sort of a catch — your car has to be compatable with CarPlay in order
for the system to work.
"Top tier auto brands like Ferrari, Mercedes Benz and Volvo will premiere CarPlay to drivers
this week. While BMW, Ford, GM and others are expected to implement the app further
down the road." (Via KTVB)
But once you've got all the working in order it will just take a word, touch or twist to
get started. Apple says anything that can control you car's touch screen will control
CarPlay.
