The iPhone has been able to drive cars since version 3.0.1. Google should really be focusing on making lists more springy at their ends instead of this sort of trivial thing.
Is this a serious post ? How does an iphone "drive" a car ? If you think GPS and turn by turn instructions is the same thing has actually controlling the car on a road, you couldn't possibily be more wrong ...
Your second point is strange too, do you actually think that a big tech company like google should not try to research new stuff outside of its comfort zone ? Or because one of their product is imperfect, they shouldn't work on another even if they have the ressources ?
"Android vs. iOS wars" refers to all the senseless flame wars that often get more attention here at HN. That's not to imply smartphones aren't world-changing devices.
