Apple today released iOS 7.1 beta 2 which debuts a new 'Car Display' toggle, likely for use with 'iOS in the Car'.
iOS in the Car seamlessly integrates your iOS device — and the iOS experience — with your in-dash system. If your vehicle is equipped with iOS in the Car, you can connect your iPhone 5 or later and interact with it using the car’s built-in display and controls or Siri Eyes Free. Now you can easily and safely make phone calls, access your music, send and receive messages, get directions and more. It’s all designed to let iPhone focus on what you need, so you can focus on the road.
Apple has yet to release iOS in the Car and this new toggle suggests that perhaps iOS 7.1 will be the firmware to launch the feature. We may discover more details as developers begin to play with the new software. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.

There are a LOT of uses besides downloading music to a car. Many car manufacturers are now implementing iOS integration into the vehicles--mainly using Siri voice controls to access iPhone functions while driving. Playing music is the least of these abilities.
