GM Integrates Siri into New Cars

Although it was not always the biggest factor in purchasing a vehicle, a car's safety has recently skyrocketed to one of the most important details when making that big decision. Because of this newfound focus on a car's safety rating, car manufacturers such as GM have begun to build their cars with more features focused on keeping you safe on the road. In addition, the advancement of technology also means that features can be designed for both safety and general use. One of these features is the integration of Siri into GM vehicles.

Developed by Apple, Siri is used in many of today's iPhones. Siri is a personal assistant, capable of performing many tasks, including searching the web, writing out text messages, setting reminders, answering questions, and many more. One of Siri's defining features is that it is controlled by your voice, which means it has a high level of user friendliness. Over time, Siri adjusts to your preferences and adjusts your results accordingly, making it even more user-friendly.

GM is making strides by being the very first car manufacturer to include Siri in its vehicles. The software will be integrated into GM's newest line of cars. These cars include the Chevrolet Spark and the Chevrolet Sonic. To use the functionality, you need an iPhone 4S or an iPhone 5. If you have one of the supported iPhones, you can then use an "Eyes Free mode" that will let you interact with your car vocally.

It is important to begin by saying that the best way to ensure you have the best, most up-to-date features in your vehicle is to buy your car from an official GM dealer. A sales representative can inform you of the car's features in detail so that you know exactly what is coming equipped in your vehicle. Since the introduction of Siri in GM vehicles is a fairly new development, there are still GM vehicles that do not have feature, and research should be done to ensure your vehicle comes with it.

There are a number of safety concerns that Siri addresses, one of these being texting while driving. We all know texting while driving is dangerous, but with Siri you simply give voice commands to send outgoing text messages. Siri also offers a GPS function; Siri will work with Apple maps to map a route or find a destination. You can also use Siri for hands free calling.

Siri's integration in GM vehicles offers a whole new world of driving. It makes our current environment safer for everyone involved, and gives the driver a level of control that other cars do not have. With Siri, you can do many tasks hands free, so that you can keep your eyes on the road. If you are considering purchasing a new car, stop by your local GM dealer and see what we can do for you!
