Luxury cars will roll with Apple due to its premium brand. Cheap cars like Scion will roll with Android due to their similarity and reputation of being a peasantry brand.

Well, they are obviously much different in terms of the UI, but I don't see much in terms of actual features - the big difference there seems to be that you can get notified to buy sunscreen.![]()
Imagine a GM car with Android and Nvidia.
Crashes, lags and catches fire.
Okaaaay. I can only assume you've never actually used iOS. The whole "Material" design language is basically lifted from iOS 7, with a Googley font and pinch of Windows 8 thrown in.
Great! Now malware will infect our cars too.
What I see is an OEM or dealership option to swap out CarPlay or this Android knock off by reprogramming the center stack entertainment option as needed.
My guess is you will see a trend of Android Auto in the lower end units, less trendy unuts while CarPlay is in the trendy and higher end units. Thus, it will follow the consumer trend of smartphone. Cheap users that do not buy aftermarket will go Andriod while people with money goes CarPlay.
Imagine a car with iOS. In 12 months it won't get any support, updates or new additions.
Glad I came to MacRumors today for all of this important Apple news and rumors.

You guys keep saying that but then you don't offer any reason as to WHY it is "better."
Honestly, Google need to get a new font if anyone is going to take this (and the Google Maps iOS app) seriously. So ugly!

Good luck Apple nor this site have had any exciting news in a year or so.I know a lot of people will be against me on this but this is not APPLE NEWS.
I come to MacRumors for Apple news, not Google/Android news.
I DON'T CARE!
Competition is always good!
Haha touche.
Listen, they're both improvements upon what we have now. I personally like the Android one better, but wouldn't be disappointed if I was "stuck" with CarPlay. This type of innovation is great for all of us. I don't get the constant hate on a piece of software that I see from both sides of the ball. IT'S 1's AND 0's, PEOPLE.
