Bluetooth phone integration with dial-by-name voice command
Many cars have Bluetooth phone integration these days, a very useful feature with more states banning handheld cell phone use while driving. But most of these systems are useful when people call you. A few companies--Ford, Kia, and Lexus so far--not only have the Bluetooth system copy your phone's contact list, but also include voice command that lets you place a call by saying a name in that contact list. Because face it, how many actual phone numbers do you have memorized?
