Voice Activated MP3 player

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."

One song you'll not be able to play

"Stop, what's that sound." It'll shut off right after it starts.

Not for me, thanks

I'll actually be avoiding this, as I don't want anyone else to hear that I'm listening to Britney Spears.

Wait.

Damn it!

Scenario

[k4_pacific]

I'm sitting in a crowded place, listening to the White Album on my new voice activated MP3 player.

Me (quietly): Play Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey.

MP3 player: Please speak louder.

Me: Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey.

MP3 player: Please speak louder.

Me (shouting): Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey!!!

Everyone turns and looks at me. I make a mad dash for the exit.

This will now allow me to fulfill my David hasslehoff fantasy!

-Kitt, find me some women!

-I'm sorry, I can't do that Dave.

I don't want my car to talk to me. I want it to run on water

Hell, I'd be happy if mine could walk on water...

Reminds me of the joke that goes something like this:

• A lady goes to a car dealer to get a fancy car. The salesman shows her a model with a voice activated radio. He says "classical", and a classical station comes on. He says "rock" and a rock station comes on. Impressed, the lady decides to take it for a test drive. As she is pulling out of the lot, a car cuts her off and she yells "asshole" .... and Rush Limbaugh comes on.
