Ford Cars to Read Text Messages Aloud

The next generation of Ford cars will be able to read your text messages aloud. The update to Ford's SYNC technology—which will be available on 2011 models—is pitched as a safety improvement so drivers can keep their hands on the wheel. The new version of SYNC (for Blackberry owners only, at first) will also include a feature that allows drivers to block incoming texts and calls with a Do Not Disturb button, Mashable reports.
