1) An API is intended to provide access to a software through a
programmable interface. In this case, the software (google map) has an

possible without google's authorization.
3) You cannot send a link to a webpage to a car. In fact you cannot
send anything to a car, except to use the special google map function.
That is the only thing that the cars are designed to receive.
