Electronic voice alert (EVA) was an option available on many Chrysler K-car-based vehicles in the mid-1980s.[1] Chrysler and Dodge used technology of the Texas Instruments LPC Speech Chips, that were also used in the Speak & Spell toy. The EVA would automatically lower the radio volume and deliver eleven different spoken warning messages[2] to drivers using a speech synthesizer[3] in 24 certain models.[4] A similar system was used in 1984 to 1986 Nissan 300ZX, Nissan 200SX, and the Nissan Maxima
