Taking what Martijn has already answered in to account (that you can't actually use what we understand as the "OSM API" in that fashion, but I expect you didn't actually want to do that in the first place), why wouldn't you be allowed to? The current OSM distribution licence does not restrict who or how you can use OSM data, except that you may have have some obligations that you need to fulfil in certain use cases (without knowing details it is difficult to detail what they would be, if any). > > 2) If so, how would I give credit if nothing is displayed?

In you case showing it on a splash screen on start up of the application/car/whatever could be a possible solution. You simply need to make the consumer/user of your application aware of the source of the data.
