NPR posted a video this evening of host Audio Cornish driving a Ford around town listening to audio from the NPR iPhone app. run through the car's dashboard using voice commands.
With a few well chosen words she can select live radio from any NPR station in the country which is in the app. She can also select any archived audio that's available in the app.
When these dashboards become commonplace in our vehicles, the local control of the audio on the radio in your vehicle will be over. Instead of radio stations competing with any other radio station within range of an FM radio signal, companies that produce live and archived audio will be competing with any company that can can stream audio through a mobile device.
This will scare some and fill others with excitement at the opportunities technology offers.
The next question is: how do I make my friends' suggestions in social media influence what's avialable in the dashboard?
Let the best audio win!
