XM to show off Voice Command at CES

As if we didn't have enough gear to scope out next week at CES, XM just hit us with a tricked-out 2006 Lexus LX 470 that they'll have on display, featuring their new natural-language Voice Command system. Part of a suite of next-gen options known as XM Advanced Services, VoiceCommand was developed in collaboration with VoiceBox Technologies, and allows the user to tell the system his/her music preference to prompt a list of appropriate channels. The souped-up Lex will also feature XM WeatherLink (for alerting the driver to weather-related driving hazards), ParkingLink (to help drivers find empty parking spots), and in-car video delivery, along with the already-available XM NavTraffic system and satellite radio offerings. Stay tuned for pics of this harmonious system doing its thing as soon as we can snap 'em.

[Thanks, Ryan]

Can it control the cd changer? that would be nice. Lets say i had a stack of discs, and i wanted to hear Lynard Skynard - Freebird. It shoudl know where that is. ANd it should also do that thing where it learns which songs i listen to the most and gives them more "spins" when i put it on random. Stuff like that would be supa-nice.
