I know this is all android nerds commenting on something they don’t care about for some reason but my guess would be that by then we’ll just be driving over a pad in our garages and not have to touch anything.

The wireless on iPhones isn’t even proprietary. Hopefully automakers agree on a standard in that regard. Tesla already has one in the works so they’ll probably be first.
