Cheap motor insurer that sends out the right message!
Many in-car activities are frowned upon by those with higher morals, are they not immoral cheap motor insurers? Those who take what's referred to as a dim view, along with their afternoon tea, and always don marigolds when attending to household chores. Binding a relationship for example is not something that they'd condone from the near comforts of a motor vehicle, in a way that perhaps many cheap motor insurers might consider; the public gallows being the dutiful punishment; as after all, the nearest they've ever got to a park and ride is leaving their car at an extended railway station car park, and stepping aboard the 9.51 to somewhere shoppy. And don't start them cheap motor insurers on the use of mobile phones. Now that's tantamount to sodomy, and requires the summoning of fork lightning by those of a religious fold. So you can imagine their feelings on the topic of emailing. From the drivers seat of a Ford Mondeo.
After plague and famine has swept the earth, and the re-building process gathers momentum, civilisation will learn from past mistakes. A company called Intelligent Mechatronic Systems (IMS) is desperately ensuring this doesn't doomsday scenario doesn't happen, and therefore has hastily invented the iLane. A new-fangled device that allows drivers (of all sorts of cars, not just the preserve of Mondeo's) to originate and forward emails without looking at a screen, or typing. Meaning that they can keep their full, undivided attention on identifying the nearest 'Happy Eater'. The iLane is a relatively compact gizmo that interfaces with your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone. And takes on the role of your personal narrator. Your diaricist. Your PA. Depending on what level you have achieved in the company who insist you should email whilst driving.
And how does it work? I don't know, as I'm not a geek; both science and technology coming a long way down the 'Wow! Isn't this fascinating' line; after food and tennis. And insomnia. Lethargy. Many things really..What I do know though is this. The iLane can read out your received emails, (in a 'natural sounding voice') compose and send a suitable response, and manage that all important diary. All courtesy of the driver's vocal instruction. The audio wiz can also, if the mood takes it, arrange your phone calls, SMS messages, and can handle several forms of email attachment. It wont however replace your wife on business trips in a way that your secretary could/has/might. Always drawbacks to some of this technology I'm afraid. One pretty cool feature of the iLane we've discovered, after much fiddling, is its ability to prioritise messages. So certain 'private folder' missives that just so happen to tumble into our inboxes from time to every minute, are not read out loud without given notice. And not before you hear your boss's memo. No price, or release date as yet to report, but while you're biding your time, avoiding near fatal crashes, why not get in touch with this cheap motor insurer - to arrange some, well, cheap motor insurance. As price wise it won't cost an arm and a leg, and availability is here and now. What have you got to loose? Other than your driving licence, job and friends.
