During Monday’s keynote at Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference, the company announced that nine automakers will soon integrate its Siri virtual assistant into their vehicles.
“How Siri will be implemented — and in what way it would possibly override the existing voice control functionality on existing vehicles — weren’t disclosed, and considering everything that Apple announced, it’s no surprise that the consumer electronics manufacturer didn’t have time to delve into the details,” reports Wired.
The automakers include Audi, BMW, Chrysler, General Motors, Honda, Jaguar, Land Rover and Toyota. Earlier this year, Mercedes announced Siri will be integrated into its A-Class models, scheduled to launch in Europe later this year.
“It’s also odd that Ford — a leader of in-car technology — wasn’t listed among the participating automakers, although it’s possibly that integrating with Sync by Microsoft may be a sticking point,” the post adds. “Also notable in its absence is Hyundai and KIA, the latter of which also has a deal with Microsoft to supply the underlying architecture of its UVO infotainment system”
