iOS Wants to Be in Your Car

Ninety-five percent of new cars being sold today have integration with iOS devices. But Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL  ) wants to take its integration with cars much further. At Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday, the company launched a new feature called iOS in the Car.

In the following video, he explains that this probably means tougher competition for Pandora (NYSE: P  ) and Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI  ) .
