Kudos to Ford Motor Company, which will make updates to its SYNC technology that promotes safer alternatives to texting while driving.
According to an article posted by @mashable via Twitter, new MyFord Touch-equipped cars will let drivers block incoming calls and texts with a “Do Not Disturb” button. The biggest addition, however, is support for a new protocol (MAP) that will allow SYNC to read aloud incoming text messages over Bluetooth.
