The news doesn't worry me, but it does intrigue me. I'm a bit curious to see where they'll go with the designs. What I'm more interested in is an article that was linked at the bottom of the one in the OP. It detailed how iOS 7 should introduce more features allowing better in-car integration (if the car supports it). I like that, because frankly... car infotainment systems are quite the awkward lot. They seem to be a few years behind the times, and simply fail to pick up emerging trends until way too late. For example, back when I had my Altima, I considered replacing its 6-year-old system with an aftermarket one. Well, none of the models that I considered listed support for M4A, which meant that I'd have to convert all of my iTunes music over. It's not hard to do, but I would rather avoid it. I ended up getting a car equipped with MyFord Touch, which is decent all-around when you get used to its quirks, and boy, does it have quirks! However, the biggest problem is that the navigation is designed so poorly. We've been using smartphones with heavy touch emphasis for about five years now, yet my car still insists that I poke at it to navigate around the map. Yes, it completely lacks the concept of swiping to move, which is commonplace in smartphones and tablets.
