Voice control works fine in Windows Automotive since at least 2008 [1].
Remember both Microsoft and Apple are using the same voice technology and sound libraries from Nuance Communication [2]. You can change the radio, mp3-playlist, do phone calls, listen the SMS, etc., though the internet enabled services are missing in older editions.

- furyofantares 13y agoAre you sure it's the same tech? It very well could be, but scroll down on that page to mergers and acquisitions, Nuance seemingly buys every company it can in that space. So they actually have a wide variety of tech and perhaps deals associated with them that predate acquisitions.
