>> live from pier three, welcome to "bloomberg west" where we covered the future of business. pinterest.an behind he rarely speaks to the press but i said down with an elusive interview. the latest on business and what he wants to teach the next generation of entrepreneurs. google no longer has to search for a private jet paradise. construction has started at a private terminal to be used

mostly by google executives. we will get to the stories and the moment. the apple versus google android battle is now hitting the road. apple is releasing a new system this year. their car into the car and they get a display. this is going display that the geneva auto show. it will be available in certain cars later this year. this comes after google formed the open automotive alliance to bring android to your car. at first i have to say that it is a great disappointment. i just bought a for r reed. ferrari. this is the direction they have been going for some time with their plan direction of s

iri. fondness for gadgets went as far as cars. he would have a mercedes he would jive as well -- drive as well. he would not put a license plate on it. he is a car as well as a gadget died. i think he realized what this might mean for vehicles. jobs did have a dream about revolutionizing automobiles as he had with smartphones. apple has been under a lot of pressure to innovate. how innovative is this really? >> one of the things in particular is interesting is that it has been a product that has gotten better and better over time. it is certainly better than when it first came out here it it is a project that learned almost quite literally from its mistakes as alerts not just her own voice but the voices of

millions and tens of millions of users of the product so that every query it is getting a little stronger. this is a creek -- tricky thing to have. there are different regulatory requirements then you would have with the phone. one would hope this'll make the phone a little safer to use when you drive, not a further distraction. >> hang on. for more on this plan to integrate your iphone into your car, i want to bring the head of bc as well as thomas mueller joining us via skype. volvo is one of the companies working with apple on car play. how long has this been in the works? we have an office in california. we are constantly in contact with the offices of other companies. would say a year-and-a-half ago we started serious talks with apple about this

cooperation. >> tell me about how it will work. it is not like the technology is replacing the technology you already have. it is not embedded in the car. it is certainly hooking it up to the dash. like thell always navigation systems and so on which we offer. then we will be able in the future to connect an iphone via the carplay and getting a complement to offer of accessing your smart phone and playing some of the applications which are coming with the smartphone. >> this is territory that google and microsoft and blackberry. how would apple approach it differently than some of these other players? >> apple is approaching it, forgive the term, like in app-

ification. from a blackberry standpoint they purchased a company that has the operating system that the car is delivering and presenting to the driver. this is a different approach. i've not heard the word "exclusive." we are working at the preamble of this story. i think you will see other suppliers trying to have their phone data presented to cars in the future. it'll come down to a user preference issue. >> it is not exclusive. or microsoft, blackberry, and so we want to do this, too? >> there are two perspectives. the perspective is the carmaker is to assure you have customers using a couple of different phone platforms. we would like to have the possibility to offer every customer a similar experience. it depends on how the different

makers are doing the integration. this in.ould toss it is also worth noting that apple had a lot of these relationships for a long time with the iphone. there is a honda. there is a phone book discovery system. you can go through your phone book and find your contact and put them into the car navigation system. these have worked together for some time. this takes it to a whole another level. the landscapesee shaping up when it comes to apple versus google versus blackberry?rsus is anyone ahead? is it everyone's game? are at the beginning. apple is clearly ahead. google has been some interesting plays with companies like audi and others. they have done a significant amount of work with these companies, apple. when he thing about the ability

to support different user tastes -- toe ability support support different operating system, user preference will be huge. what we're going to get to is that cars will support multiple environments through standard connections. it will likely be wi-fi from what i am reading about this announcement. this is something i think drivers have wanted for a very long time. why did it take so long to get to this point? why did it take so long to get to this deal with apple? on the phonerts makers decided to find an interface which allows the car to remotely control the phone. we are not just talking about rejecting what you see on your smart phone and have a read-only. we are talking about the bidirectional interface which to operatedriver

features which are on the phone and use the phone as a computer. this interface needs to be well thought through. it is in the hands of the phone producer to define this interface. on the mutual investigations, i think we have found a very good and very compelling offer. >> final thought. >> it is also interesting that we just saw video showing how this works. they're opening this up to other apps as well. it is an opportunity for other companies likes bod spotify in others to offer different type of apps. it is a new place for apple ios. thank you all for weighing in. we will continue to follow this one as it develops. pinterest is one of the hottest social media sites around.

daft punk tickets. usually they do not get paid a lot. you have to understand the silicon valley interns make amazing coffee. better than blue bottle. that might be worth 6000 or 7000 bucks a month to some. put theprobably just right amount of foam on top. >> to be serious, the use of interns and their free labor is drawing further scrutiny, particularly in silicon valley were so much money is there to be made. the high paid intern is the outlier. that is perhaps while we are talking about appeared the unpaid, abuse intern ending the labor to these companies is maybe a more disconcerting story in silicon valley. know a lot of interest that parlayed it into jobs. it often does lead to more. thank you all for watching this addition of "bloomberg west/."
