‘Sync’ your car

Ford Motors and Microsoft have teamed up to bring you more efficient talking while driving technology. Yes, there is a new system called the Sync that will allow drivers to make hands free phone calls, have text messages read to them out loud, and play their digital media players like the iPod in the car. It will become a factory installed nuisance…ahem..featured in 2008 and it is said that over 600 million cars will be fitted with the technology in the near future.

If we already have problems with people being too distracted with their gadgets to drive, I would like to see what the accident rates do in 2008 when all this goes live.
