Siri to keep you company in future cars


Eyesfree
Discovery News reveals that Siri, the voice assistant from Apple, will be put in cars in the near future- so we can ask our niggling questions as we drive and send our messages safely and legally. Apple says that the system will be "eyes free" so it will reduce the distraction it causes the driver. The phone's screen won't light up when a voice command is received, for example.
Apple announced the move at its Worldwide Developer Conference where they revealed that BMW, General Motors, Mercedes, Land Rover, Jaguar, Audi, Toyota, Chrysler, and Honda were the car manufacturers who will implement it first. It's likely to hit the first production models in the next 12 months. 
Pretty cool, huh?
