Microsoft for the Car Is the Companys Answer to Apples CarPlayAFP
The battle for the technological car dashboard of the future is about to heat up. Following demos from Android and Apple, Microsoft is also developing a platform Windows for the Car that will put the companys smartphones, content, and apps front and center of the driving experience. But hopefully in a way that isnt too distracting.
First demonstrated at one of the sessions at its BUILD developers conference, Windows for the Car would use the same customizable tile interface that will be familiar to anyone who owns a Nokia Lumia handset or has recently upgraded to Windows 8/8.1 on the PC.
Just like Apples CarPlay and Googles Open Automotive Alliance or OAA (essentially Android for the car), Microsofts system would offer drivers access to their music libraries, turn-by-turn directions via Here and Bing maps and, of course, search, voice calls, and text messaging. And although it is very much a work in progress, Microsoft doesnt really need to play catch-up.
