Waiting for SIRI?

Looks like your wait is finaly over.

"Here’s a new-feature alert for the 2014 models: the Siri Eyes-Free system will soon be standard in the 2014 Lexus ES, GS, LS and RX, allowing Lexus drivers to talk to Siri while keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road."

Keeping one's eyes on the road, even with hands-free systems, is one thing. Keeping one's brain on the road, however, may or may not go along with it.

One of the things that some recent studies have shown is that brain multi-tasking is more of a factor in accidents than simply having one's hands tied up.
