Apple Carplay Will Soon Control Your Car. Will Apple Tractorplay be Next?

I recently replaced the CD player on my 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser with a modern Apple CarPlay equipped stereo. My old SUV now displays the latest iPhone apps when I drive on the stereo’s LCD screen. CarPlay works great.

If you have driven a car with Apple CarPlay, you know that it drastically simplifies integrating your phone into your driving experience. No more searching for a way to sync your iPhone’s contacts, music, or maps with your vehicle. Just plug in your phone (or connect wirelessly) and your phone’s apps appear on your vehicle’s infotainment screen. (Google’s Android auto works the same way).
