Apple did not build a car, but want to make all cars into Apple cars?
Yesterday's WWDC, $Apple (AAPL.US)$ 's in-car system CarPlay, which has had a very low presence in previous years, was shown off by Apple in a very rare event.
Apple said that 98% of cars in the United States can use CarPlay, and 79 percent of U.S. consumers said they would only buy cars that support CarPlay.
In the past, CarPlay could only carry the entertainment and navigation functions of a smart car. But last night, Apple showed off a new CarPlay with a more comprehensive set of features that can take over most of the car's electronic functions and control all the screens in the car, enabling human-vehicle interaction. With a more functional CarPlay, car companies are being forced to make choices. With the new CarPlay, every car can be turned into an Apple Car without the need for Apple to build a car.
