In a word, yes, although most people may just choose to bring their iPads when they drive rather than leave one mounted in the car.
That's not to say some car manufacturers aren't considering tablet-like interfaces for cars. The Tesla Model S will have a large touchscreen device at the center of its dashboard (pictured below with Google Maps).
The most obvious use for an iPad in the car is the Google Maps application. For this to be effective you'll need to purchase one of the iPads with 3G and GPS and give AT&T $15-$30/month. The maps application works just like the iPhone's, but it's bigger and faster with a terrain option. There is also a compass which makes navigation and the higher definition street view that much more functional. GPS software makers like Tom Tom and Garmin might also make special versions of their current iPhone apps for the iPad, otherwise, you can get by with the iPhone formatted versions.
But there are many other uses for the iPad in the car.
