I work for a used car dealers West Palm Beach and I have heard about this technology recently like a viral! Everyone coming to the dealership asks about it! Breathe analyzers for people that drive drunk and facial recognition for people that don't want to get their car stolen; this is the future!

That is what I call technology! This is amazing. I wonder what else they are going to come up with next. I wish I could use this system for at least one of my two conversion vans. It would be very relaxed when going to camping. I'm joking, I know that we won't use that too soon, but anyway it's great! It's the first time I read about something like that.

We all know that this technology isn't new but it would be helpful. I read an article about a device that can detect your alcohol consumption and won't start the car if it detects too much. I bought a car from an used cars Ft Lauderdale shop that had this device on it. Imagine my surprise when I tried to drive a little drunk.

I read an article about an application that could recognize one's honest smile and afterward transpose it into the Y!Messenger window or in the email every time that person beamed. So yes, the technology Toshiba uses isn't new at all, but what's great is that the company has thought of using it as an anti-theft program. It's too bad that I had to leave my car at a car donation fair, because I would have very much liked to use it.

This is good news from Toshiba. A friend of mine, who works at a Jeep dealers Des Moines service used to told me that this innovation will reduce the number of the accidents, because the drivers will be more careful. I imagine that Toshiba is taking a part of the great responsibility with this technology.

Indeed, what is wrong with voice control commands? Me and my fellows Subaru dealers Philadelphia can agree to this being nice technology, but I think it is too expensive for what it does. We will wait and see if this system does a lot more than a voice controlled system.

Interesting but what was so wrong with voice control?

As long as it doesn't have the LOL technology that made headlines a few weeks ago with the idea of implementing a speed-lock on cars, so that they couldn't exceed a certain speed.
