iphone 5 Rumors and Release Date - GM Reports Chevy Spark and Sonic Will Have Siri's "Eyes' Free" Feature

During the opening keynote at the WWDC, Apple announced Siri's "Eyes Free" feature as part of iOS 6. "Eyes Free" gives automakers the option of including a button in their cars that allows drivers to use Siri to send messages, make calls, and whatever else the little personal assistant is capable of. At the time of the announcement, Apple said that nine automakers would utilize Eyes Free, but didn't say who.

But this morning, GM was announced as one of the first to implement the technology in their Chevy Spark and Sonic compacts. The remaining 8 automakers include Honda, Chrysler, Jaguar, Audi, Toyota, BMW, Mercedes, and Land Rover.

Currently, the Spark and Sonic use Chevy's MyLink to connect their smartphones to the car. With only 60 commands, the inclusion of Siri and Eyes Free would greatly improve on that list.

Eyes Free will work in a very similar manner to other hands-free packages. A button on the car's steering wheel activates the link, and all the driver need do from there is speak the command.

Eyes Free should be avaialble in the Spark and Sonic within the next year.

With Chevy and all the other manufacturers set to include Siri's Eyes Free program in their cars, you can be certain Siri will be an inclusion in Apple's next iPhone.
