Could you be going mad? Perhaps not. Perhaps the voice that you hear is the Lexus voice-activated DVD Navigation System* that responds to 150 spoken commands. By simply pressing a switch on the steering wheel and uttering a single word or phrase such as "restaurant" or "gas station," the system wills how you the destination on a display screen map and a voice will point you in the right direction. Perhaps the voice that you hear is from the available Lexus Link system. A touch of a button lets you speak to an advisor who can send for emergency medical help or Roadside Assistance. The system knows your location, even if you don't, courtesy of a highly sophisticated Global Positioning System (GPS).* Perhaps the voice you are listening to is your own. A device inside the Lexus LS lets you conveniently record a memo to remind yourself of something later. Or perhaps not. Maybe you should stop talking to cars. SOME PEOPLE TALK TO THEIR CARS.
