During Apple’s live event today, CEO Tim Cook said that CarPlay, the company’s iOS-powered dashboard, is coming to “every major car brand.”
Cook said that CarPlay will be available on more than 40 different car models.
CarPlay, which rolled out a year ago, was designed to give drivers a “smarter, safer, and more fun” way to use iPhones in cars.
Cook did not reveal further details, such as timing, or which auto models would feature CarPlay.
