Current events/ The icar?

On Tuesday one of the biggest companies (Apple) announced that they are creating a car that uses your iPhone to control the car like choosing songs, using the internet and many more things that u can use your phone for. Apple teamed up with Ferrari, Mercedes, and Volvo to create an app that allows you to use your iPhone for the icar, this app is called carplay. "iPhone users always want their content at their fingertips and CarPlay lets drivers use their iPhone in the car with minimized distraction" said Greg joswaik Vice President of iPhone and iOS marketing. Users of the icar can press the steering wheel and then Siri is activated you can make calls using voice 
commands.The  app will also anticipate the drivers destination. The new car play app will be an update for iOS 7, it works with iPhones 5s,5c and 5
 
   The companies which will enable carplay will be BMW Group, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai Motor Company, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia Motors, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan Motor Company, PSA Peugeot Citroƃ«n, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota Motor Corp are also set to offer CarPlay in the future.
So it will not be an official car but it will be in future cars at the retails listed above in the future

  1. Karn, this is a pretty interesting paragraph on the I car. I really like your topic. However, you need more paragraphs and more sentences in your paragraph so I can get more details on your topic. I also think you need to have separate paragraphs, one against the idea of the I car, and one that wants the I car. Also, watch out for some of your punctuation at the end of your sentences because I think your missing some period. Your last sentence is highlighted in white so I cant read it, please do fix it. Overall, nice try.
