There’s nothing like having a competent navigator, DJ, and conversationalist on a long drive. And perhaps a virtual copilot could be even better than the usual one who, let’s face it, often gets directions wrong or neglects his or her duties by falling asleep. We’ll soon find out. General Motors says a number of its 2013 models will be compatible with Apple’s wise-cracking, know-it-all virtual assistant, Siri. In the Chevrolet Spark or the Sonic LTZ or RS, you’ll be able to connect to an iPhone and then use Siri’s Eyes Free mode without ever glancing away from the road. Siri will find directions, look up information online, send e-mails, and the rest.
