Despite attempts to reduce driver distraction by enabling select voice commands to activate things like the air conditioning or change a radio station,
You know what worked great and didn’t distract?
Haptic buttons and knobs.
I don’t know what I can buy when my current car dies. I don’t want all this shit again.
My car has voice commands but it can’t even do simple tasks like turning on the headlights or wipers, and requires an active internet connection to do anything at all, so yeah, its fuckin useless.
Meanwhile my phone can dictate entire paragraphs with no internet connection at all.
Well the car is brand new and will probably last a while. I already downgraded from some “premium” brand to an “entry-level” car, just to have nothing but android-auto and a screen. AC and shit like that is good old knobs and buttons.
Previous car had nothing analog at all. Then the cockpit broke and it was blank. Couldn’t even see how fast I was going. Replacement was 6000 moneyz. And because the HUD also broke, it was another 5000 moneyz because the whole windshield had to be replaced. Also took a week.
That made my left nut explode and sell that piece of shit (that I loved to drive, beside THAT)

Just get stuff replaced. I’d rather get a new engine, transmission, chassis, and all parts replaced one by one then get a car with bullshit installed.
