The use of artificial intelligence assistants is getting common day
by day thanks to the products like Siri of iPhone and others that have
played a vital role in publicizing such a technology. Apple introduced
Siri with the release of iPhone 4S back in 2011 and it was one of the
prime factors that smartphone became an instant hit.
As Apple adds new features with every software release to Siri, it is
also working on its expansion and integrating it with different gadgets
and machines. One very useful feature of Siri is you can use it to
do different things on your iPhone while you are driving. For example
you can ask it to make a call, send an SMS, create a reminder etc
without having to touch it. The use of Siri in cars is so popular that
Apple is now working with car manufacturers to integrate it in their
vehicles.
Now Honda has announced that its next three models of cars, which
includes Honda Accord and Acura RDX and ILX will have Siri as a dealer
installed option. When these models are released later this year users
with Siri equipped iPhone running iOS 6 will be able to perform a number
of specific tasks without getting distracted while driving The
addition of Siri is called the Eyes Free mode through which users can
make hands-free commands to their iOS device while not getting
distracted.
The iPhone will be connected with the vehicle via Bluetooth and will
be able to take full advantage of the Eyes Free mode. The vehicle will
have an onboard microphone and speakers which will be put on use for
Siri.
While its a great step by Honda, it should not be limited to Siri and
iPhone only. Users of other platforms and devices should also be able
to seamlessly enjoy this great feature
