Drivers will be able to use "iOS in the car" to view Apple Maps, listen to music, and also watch movies. Sounds exciting, right? Well, calls can also be made using this system. The system will act as an interface for dashboard system and
Siri so that messages can be read to the driver and he/she can simply respond by dictating a reply. Also there will be no keyboard hence all the typing will have to be carried out using Siri voice commands.

    This is actually eye catching.
    Though Apple is going to integrate only MAPS, and couple other software with non-apple device. Do you think Hackers may already have eyed this for a chance of breaching the Apple's Security.
