This year's Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) is well on its way to kick off the anticipated event this coming March 30 - April 2, 2017, and will be held at the World Trade Center in Metro Manila. Adding to the list are test drives, car competitions, a showcase of exotic & supercars, and stunt performances by renowned precision driver Russ Swift as reported by Autoindustriya. So, to help you navigate the fun-filled world of automotive tech, I’ve assembled a list of 5 tech features cars should have in 2026. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto To me, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are non-negotiables, even if either is only wired. There was a time when Android Auto wasn’t available in the country. USB ports or Qi Wireless Charging In tandem with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, USB ports are an essential item in most modern cars. If a vehicle comes with Wireless CarPlay and/or Wireless Android Auto, then it makes sense for it to have a wireless charging pad in the cabin. However, if there is a wireless charger, and wired CarPlay or wired Android Auto, then I’d consider that to be a bit of an oversight.
