These new systems are trying to get people away from using their smartphones for navigation, music, social media, etc. The problem with cars today is they simply can not compete with what our smartphones offer. Google maps on my phone is far superior to anything found in a cars gps system and much easier to use while driving. A standard infotainment system that developers can program for can allow applications we are already using on our phones while driving and instead have it displayed with the intention of it being viewed while driving. High end vehicles are attempting to go autonomous soon (Mercedes is attempting by 2020) and users will want to stay connected since they won't have to pay nearly as much attention to the road as they do currently. Businessmen who commute to work every day can start working throughout their hour long commute.
- jebblue 13y agoI know what you're saying but, "The problem with cars today is they simply can not compete with what our smartphones offer.", I think when the car makers get away from locked, closed, proprietary operating systems; people might be more willing to put their confidence in the new software that will undoubtedly be developed.
