Apple offered USA Today a demo of CarPlay running in a Chevrolet Spark at WWDC.

Three vehicles parked on the second floor of the Moscone Center here—a stunning Ferrari, Chevy Spark, and a jazzed up 1965 Ford Mustang—served as very visible reminders that Apple also has designs on the highway. The cars included demonstration units of CarPlay, the communications, entertainment and navigational in-car system Apple plans to make available to on select 2014 vehicles starting this summer, with after-market head-unit options from Pioneer and Alpine also in the works.

We've already detailed CarPlay and showed you videos from Volvo and Mercedes but this video shows an Apple representative (Emily) demonstrating how CarPlay works.

Notably, despite the demo vehicle at WWDC, Chevrolet has yet to announce that it's releasing a vehicle with CarPlay support.

Better NOT on any GM model! It might break on the next ignition lock failure accident...

Is it me, or it seems there's no "regular" aerial radio? Only Apple iRadio that needs internet? What if you live in the boonies and cell coverage is really shitty?

Other than sprint, you got lte anywhere you go according to charts, but good question.

What I would like to see it when every car company plans to start using carplay and which models, that would leave less questioning.
