A year after both Apple's Car Play and Google's Android Auto in-car smartphone connectivity systems were announced, the technologies are finally arriving in mass-market cars.

Honda says its net profit in April-June jumped nearly 20 percent as strong sales in North America and a weak yen helped offset the impact of an exploding air-bag crisis.

South Korea's Hyundai has become the first carmaker to offer Google's Android Auto system in its Sonata model.
