2010 BMWs boast improved Nuance voice control system

BMWs aren’t exactly lacking for technology these days, but it looks like the new 2010 models come packing a little something extra to make your life even easier. As Nuance Communications is all too happy to announce itself, the new vehicles boast an improved voice control system from the company that promises to allow for a “more conversational dialogue between drivers and BMW navigation and entertainment systems.” That, naturally, gets paired with BMW’s own iDrive system, and includes some Sync-like abilities to search for music by voice, as well as a new “One-Shot Destination Entry” feature to let folks enter a destination address in one simple voice command. It can even apparently recognize several different language in parallel, letting a French-speaking driver, for instance, search for a German song title or English album title.
