From the Autoblog Press release [Autoplay, pun sadly not intended]:

This year, the winner of the Technology of the Year Feature Award was awarded to Apple CarPlay. “Apple’s CarPlay represents the impact technology is having on our connected lives and brings an experience that is easy to use and enhances the lives of consumers who use this product” said Stephen Rouse, Autoblog’s Director of Product and Technology.

There’s a video on the press release page (linked above) that does a nice job showing off the current version of CarPlay. The CarPlay walkthrough starts at about 3:15 into the video.
