> Have you actually tried using voice commands in a car? It just doesn't work.

I have 3 years of experience with a CarPlay-enabled car, and Siri mostly just works as a voice interface. (But to your point, car makers' home-grown solutions are almost comically bad.)

Exactly. Judging by how they are managing to make the worst possible decisions wrt touchscreen offerings, I'm not holding my breath for siri-like voice activation from car makers

I'm hoping that by offering simple and intuitive words we could have success where most have failed (overloaded so that hotter, temperature, colder, heat, heater are all recognized, but all mean the same thing).
