"The German news site heise.de writes [German language only] that soon you can interact with your iPhone from the built-in touchscreen of their cars. The idea is shown in this youtube.com video."

The press release speaks of the advantages (in sales-speak) of integrating a large portrait-oriented touch screen with an advanced voice control system like Siri.

This comes at a time, where Switzerland is contemplating of moving against large built-in screens in cars, as they are distracting for the driver http://readzer.com/."

    Does that mean I have to swap out my car when I switch from an iPhone to an Android or vice versa?

    Whatever happened to standardization? Bluetooth and video over USB 3.0 should be able to do this.
