Here's a neat article on Jalopnik about Datsuns novel approach to voice tech in the early 80's.

Basically, instead of a computer chip they used a mini record and turntable!

Cool stuff.

I can't help but think about Eddie Murphy's routine about that car. You can listen to it here but if you're at work you better turn the sound way down:

"Hey man!! Someone stole your ba'try, I say we go get the Mother trucker."

I love that line, Reminds me of an old girlfriends 200SX that constantly said, "Door is adjar"

If the door is a jar, what is the seat?

It depends on the make. . . I guest its just the usual seat.
