Technology has evolved so much in the years. When I was in 3rd grade the hit technology was the FireFly cell phone and now we have iPhone's and now we can use our iPhone's in our cars which is called CarPlay. This new system is a touchscreen in your car and buttons on your steering wheel. You can use Siri and the Apple command system. CarPlay is like using your phone in your car, you can make phone calls, listen to voicemails, hear text messages, and use Apple Maps and Spotify. The first vehicles that will have CarPlay will be Volvo, Ferrari, and Mercedes-Benz. Apple is constantly coming up with new and improved technology that some people would never think of using in their time. CarPlay plans to be installed in BMW, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, and Toyota later on. This new technology can also be very dangerous because most car accidents are caused by cell phones. I hope that this new in-car experience won't make drivers more distracted and not have their eyes on the roads. Having buttons on the steering wheel might be safer then the touch screen because you can memorize where the buttons are on your steering wheel and learn to not look at your steering wheel. This new technology is very cool, but I hope it doesn't lead to more car accidents.

this is really cool, but if youre looking at your steering wheel will it make you distracted to the road? just curious. Also, the cars getting it are more expensive, so this seems like an upper class luxury, hopefully it will become something we can all have in our cars one day!
