Apple Siri moves into your car

Apple’s Siri voice recognition technology will probably appear in your next vehicle. Consumers are demanding to be connected 24/7. Siri may be the answer. The new Siri fea­ture is called Eyes Free. The fea­ture will be avail­able this fall. It will allow dri­vers to change iPhone set­tings while the screen is off.

The lat­est automak­ers to adopt Siri are Honda and Gen­eral Motors. Toy­ota and Audi are also in line for the tech­nol­ogy. Mer­cedes, Chrysler, BMW, Jaguar, and Land Rover have said they will be using Siri in their enter­tain­ment systems.

Gen­eral Motors was one of the first to see the advan­tages offered by the Apple sys­tem. Siri will be offered in the Chevro­let Spark and Chevro­let Sonic in the 2013 model year

    Being 59 years old I have trouble embracing all the new technology hands free or not. Driving is relaxing for me. Having an open car after over 40 years without is nice and don’t know how I went so long without one. Siri or whatever her name is has no place in my cars. Even the radio of off when I drive with the top off. The sounds and feel of the car on the road is like meditation. I do have a cell phone that remains off and stored away in the console. I’m happy to turn it on when I need to make a call but I certainly don’t need to receive a call. I don’t even get on the internet much at home. It’s simply not necessary.

    I think there is too much intrusion in to our lives. Turn off the TV, the internet, the phone and go for adrive to the nearest car show and enjoy. IMO Siri can stay inside her I-phone and shut up.
