As someone who has been irrevocably sucked into the iOS ecosystem, I’d be very happy if what I saw on my iPhone was duplicated in some way on the dashboard display in my car. This (and my interest in what the new in-car infotainment technology means for traditional radio) is why I’m most interested in what Apple is promoting with CarPlay.

But we’re not there yet. Opposite Lock takes a look at why CarPlay isn’t the answer to what we will eventually need in cars.
