My car is smarter than I thought it was!

thewayneToday I was driving down Interstate 10 when I saw one of those signs that said 'Tune your radio to 530 AM if the lights are flashing', and the lights were flashing. It was definitely dust storm weather, but I didn't want to pull over to tune the radio. So I hit the voice command button on the steering wheel. This is not Siri or Cortanna or whatever Android's voice assist is called, this is Subaru's stereo's implementation.
And it worked. I was able to tell it to tune the radio to 530 AM. I thought that was pretty cool. As it turned out, the radio report was nothing more than an advert to dial a special phone number or go to the Arizona highway web site.
