To be fair, it heard her the first time.

And then it also rattled off some info about the company that made it. I don't know what it heard to do that. I just know I'm not getting back into that thing.

I'd drive some old clunker (and maintain the thing) if I had to - but I never even had a licence

Apparently saying "hey (car), set the temp to this many degrees" is more convenient than having a knob that you just know from memory where you want it... I disagree with that, but eh, not my car. And never shall it be.

(Not a Tesla btw.)

Wanting to control your tech and not having it listen to you at all times is apparently old fashioned now (as noted during a recent interaction with my aunt's new fancy car with some voice controls... next time I'm taking the bus.)

@ElliesSurviving
You can be old fashioned without actually being old... (Any other variant would mean I'm old, and I'm not even pushing 30! Maybe I'm poking 30 gently with a stick, but it's still a stick of respectable length!)

"Smart" has been redefined as "having an effective ability to sell you shit" over the almost 2 decades since the first doom rectangle (so-called "smart"phone) launched.
