I can't wait for the WWDC where Apple will allow all developers to submit their app following of course meaningful guidelines that fit a car user interface. Then Apple can act as a gateway and the automakers cannot put a veto on which app goes to the car dashboard or not. I think we can learn from the fiasco of Renault trying to create a plateform with their R-link system. In this case the car manufacturer does the filtering of the apps but the rewards are low for the developers : - antique system : android already 3-4 years old! - no access to the car data : it's like making a smartphone app without being able to use the camera in your app. So as the user experience designer you're loosing very important data about the context of the user. - low number of users : not many cars are sold with this system. (Carplay do not have many users yet but has much more potential of growth than R-link). The marketing page of r-link : http://www.renault.co.uk/innovations/r-link/ http://www.renault.co.uk/innovations/r-link/ I think people already showed many time they do want control, variety and choice.
