^ actually microsoft has been in cars for a decade now, windows embedded runs behind Audis shiny MMI, Fords Sync and many others..
Fiat even puts the stickers in:

But as always, everyone pretends that Apple has invented in-car entertainment.
- microsoft had a tablet earlier too: origami or something :)Weyland

this is the way of all cars now. for instance, my '07 vw has issues with cold weather where, get this, because of the electronics in the door latch/lock i will open the door and then it won't latch shut for a tmp period. so this means that there were some mornings this winter where i held the door shut manually as i was driving for like a half nor and then all of a sudden it engages and it stays shut. hahaha.

do we get to make fun of Google too, or is it only cool to hate on Apple?

this just doesn't feel like apple simplicity in design. buttons with labels? a CD player? really?
- that's because it isn't, that's the carmaker's physical interface... Apple ONLY provides the screen interface.monospaced

It's illegal to use a cell phone while driving in Quebec. But we now have computers in our cars' dashboards ... They say that cellphones are a distraction to the driver. I think they should ban these computers also... otherwise their arguments are invalid.
- Agreed, which makes your above statement weird. CarPlay is nearly 100% voice controlled, and the screen isn't new.monospaced
