摘要

People spend a lot of time behind the wheel every day. Reading newspapers while driving a car is almost impossible. In this work, a mobile news reader application is developed to deliver the latest news from various sources to the drivers. The major difference from other news reader applications is that it is developed in accordance with the Ford SYNC technology. The user will be able to view the latest news on the SYNC screen while driving and listening to the selected news. In addition, drivers can select the desired news source and the desired news with the voice commands. Therefore, our proposed news reader application is an enabler for the drivers to follow the news in a safe way without distraction while keeping their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road.
