Apple brings iOS to cars

Apple promised to bring its iOS mobile operating system to the automobile industry last year. According to a report from Financial Times, the iOS will debut in Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and Ferrari this March. It is expected to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland next week, which runs from 6th to 16th March.

Apple are working with a slew of manufacturers to bring its iOS in car system to reality.

At World Wide Developers' Conference (WWDC) 2013, Apple's Eddy Cue showed off "iOS in the car." He said that Apple are working with Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Ferrari, Chevrolet, Infiniti, Kia, Hyundai, Volvo, Acura, Opel and Jaguar.

After a rocky start, Apple Maps seem to have improved.

The iOS in car system will handle mapping and directional features like highway safety warnings and routing functions. It will also help drivers send messages via iMessage (hands-free), use Siri to execute commands, play iTunes music and make phone calls in the car.

Apple has yet to make an official announcement.
