Voice Activated MP3 player 236
g0dsp33d writes "A US company is working on a voice controlled MP3 player for applications like cars where touch control is not as feasible. Considering technology like radar breaking and AI steering for robots, it reminds me of the possibility for a real life version of the car from Night Rider, KITT. Minus the cool jump effects, of course."

But I'm loath to sit out in the cold just to program the stupid thing in my sleigh.
How big a deal is it to take a fraction of a second to change the song anyway? We do it all the time with the radio, A/C, and speedometer already.

The way I see it one of two things needs to happen before this becomes truely feasible:
1) Voice recognition software needs to become much more effiecient.

If your mp3 player has 3000 songs, and you're looking for one... you're gonna be doing quite a few clicks on that radio to get to it.
The voice navigation will work a bit faster. Make that a lot faster.

Good God! To think all these years I've been controlling my music without voice control when it is "not feasable." I must be a pretty amazing guy to pull this off!
