Apple's CarPlay will be shipping on 40 new car models this year

On stage at the company's "Spring Forward" event today, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced that CarPlay would be showing up on 40 new car models this year — but perhaps more interesting is that he says that every "major" manufacturer has now committed to using it. There had been some holdouts — Toyota hasn't committed to a release timeline, for instance — but it seems like Apple's made enough progress signing up automakers to sound extremely confident today. CarPlay is going head-to-head in the marketplace with Google's Android Auto, both of which are rolling out on a variety of cars this year.
