Sat-navs, they are a-changin'... Bob Dylan to lend his voice to car-makers' GPS

  Rock legend Bob Dylan is heading back to the studio again... but he won't be recording any new songs.
Instead, the 68-year-old has revealed bizarre plans to lend his distinctive gravel voice to motorists' sat-nav systems.
Dylan, who has sold more than 70 million albums, claims to have been approached by two motor manufacturers to record their GPS directions.

'Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)': Bob Dylan is set to be the voice of satnav
Speaking on his Sunday BBC radio show, Dylan said: 'I am talking to a couple of car companies about being the voice of their GPS system.

'I think it would be good if you are looking for directions and hear my voice saying something like: "Left at the next street, no a right - you know what? Just go straight".'
He added: 'I probably shouldn't do it because whichever way I go I always end up at one place - Lonely Avenue.' 
He is currently enjoying radio success on BBC Radio 2 and Radio 6 with his Theme Time Radio Hour show, delivered in the distinctive voice once described as 'sandpaper singing'.
Dylan has influenced artists from John Lennon and Paul McCartney to Bruce Springsteen and David Bowie - as well as just about every singer and songwriter since the 1960s.
In April this year, his latest album Together Thru Life went straight to the top of the UK and U.S. album charts.
Other celebrity voices already available as satnav commentaries include a bossy John Cleese, a husky Kim Cattrall - star of Sex in the City - Homer Simpson, Alan Partridge and Mr T, the character from 1980s TV series The A-Team.

  https://www.istudy-china.com/  Since, I have recently gone through this journey of test preparation – SAT, AP & TOEFL and finally got admitted to UC Berkeley starting in Fall 2022, I consider myself eligible to answer this question. I scored 1550 on SAT and 5/5 in AP Physics C. I am sharing my journey of college admission preparation, which will help you understand the role of SAT preparation institutes. The SAT is an aptitude test which requires tricks and strategies to solve questions quickly and correctly. I started doing some mock tests to analyse which areas I was lagging behind in.
