the os wars will be largely irrelevant down the road (sic) in favor of a 'standards' based approach instead for media streaming and control.

well, unfortunately Apple does not like standards :-).... but besides that, there is no way for them to standardize this anyway - they will "standardize" it per platform basically.

Rather than media playback and control, which has been already implemented and working, this is a way to get Android/Apple infotainment system from your phone into your dash.

just make the car display a 'remote' display for the phone with standard protocols and there isn't much to do - after that it's all about the phone app, not the car.

Exactly, I don't understand why they can't just come up with a standard interface (or least one for iOS and one for Android) to just replicate the screen and the touch controls.

No need for ****ty and overpriced nav's and apps in cars.
