  Siri Eyes Free is a system designed by Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), especially for drivers using the terminal iPhone when driving and rely on Siri to send messages, play songs from the audio library, or who knows what else. If until now American car manufacturers have rushed to implement the function in their own cars, here in Europe Ope has chosen to integrate Siri in an entry level car. In the video clip above you have a demonstration of how Siri Eyes Free works in the Opel Adam, the car being available at the price of €11.500.

  Siri Eyes Free integration costs €300 and we are talking about a dedicated button on the steering wheel which, as soon as it is pressed, activates the Siri assistant from the terminal and displays some information on the car's multimedia screen. Probably in the near future other manufacturers will have similar systems integrated in cars, but it remains to be seen how many of the big brands will choose to offer customers interconnectivity with the Siri assistant.
