As shown in the video, iOS in the Car runs through the native Maps app. It includes some media controls, and the ability to search by voice to navigate.
Apple first demoed the new feature at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June 2013. During an earnings call last summer, Apple CEO Tim Cook called the feature a “key focus” for the company.
Since then, a number of car manufacturers have announced their support for the feature. These have included: Acura, Chevrolet, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Kia, Volvo, Opel, and Jaguar.
Apple’s iOS in the Car feature is expected to launch in March, alongside the public release of iOS 7.1.
