Teens everywhere are dying from car accidents due to texting! Just kidding. Car + phone technologies have always been fascinating. Ever since the “car phone” ( yeah this one ) evolved into the BLuetooth speaker thingee you hang over your visor to receive calls, a company has now done the next big step . “Although playback of text messages using text-to-speech applications is available in certain vehicle models, outbound texting to date has been limited only to pre-scripted messages,” said Dr. Tom Schalk, ATX vice president of voice technology. “This service is unique in the market because it allows drivers to create and send

completely customized text messages exclusively by voice, while on the go.” With voice activated commands as common (and perfected!) in several phones, why not apply this technology to cars themselves. You can pair your car with your phone to send SMS. The whole process is voice activated and you won’t even need to look down onto your mobile. No more present messages. The platform is seamless and liquid. Once again, the road is safe, thanks to ATX! [original image c/o Wikipedia ] Post from: Cellphone9
