@CatherineFlick @emilymbender @verge car companies sure are making it easy to not by their stuff. Remove CarPlay/Android Auto? Dead to me. Require subscriptions for basic features? Double dead to me. Add AI anything? Fuck them and the horse they road in on.

(This new fad for talking car 'AI assistant' bilge reminds me of a previous vision of the future - a mid-'80s Austin Maestro with voice synthesis. Because why not. Will probably prove about as useful...)
@CatherineFlick @emilymbender There are some potential senseable use cases for integrating AI in automotive, i.e. beyond the FOMO-driven focus on navigation and entertainment, but they require serious UX research. We identified some for a mobile tech client, but they are covered by NDA.
