    Yet Bill Campbell sat on the Apple board for 17 years.

    That was a travesty, imho. (I've posted that view on these boards many a time in the past). I am glad that he's finally gone.

     

    There's no need to make that same mistake twice.

    Don't worry, it'll be another middle aged white man (or maybe even woman!), with plenty of wealth.

    PS: no car should be iOS-friendly. It's a touch-based interface [without tactile sensation]. Apple's success has cause all kinds of irrational copycat marketing and has gotten everyone to put touch screens everywhere, including where they do not belong. I have no desire to see touch screens in cars, Apple or otherwise. Yet here they are. Some regulatory body needs to correct this path ASAP. NOT by adding backup beepers to it.

    Absolutely it should. No driver should be taking his eyes off the road. It’s not Apple’s responsibility to keep idiots out of wrecks.

     

    The best interface possible for passengers; voice controls for the driver. Why would you want to settle for something less?

    Calm down. It's too late. Many cars already have it, so your concern is pointless.
