It looks like a beta 2 version of the next iOS release (7.1) has a "car display" mode. The article linked above suggests that car display means you will be able to link your iPhone through cable or Bluetooth wireless to a compatible vehicle touchscreen. You'll be able to use the touchscreen to manage messages, music, and navigation (Apple Maps, for better or worse).
Apple has arrangements in place with 35 auto brands to support music playback from an iPod or iPhone, using a cable connection to a touchscreen provided by the manufacturer. The "car display" mode expands the ways this connection could be of use.

Bottom line: Some day soon we won't need to shop for a separate navigation tablet for in-vehicle use.
