>> If I can't adjust the air conditioning while looking at the road, I don't want it.
Is this even a problem on a Tesla? My 2005 Honda with climate control can do this. I rarely adjust my a/c or heat. On a super hot or cold day, it will simply try its hardest at the beginning to reach the desired temperature before settling down.
I would think a new car like a Tesla would do it even better out of the box than my aging car.
Or maybe you just can't afford it and are looking for a reason to make yourself feel better. :D How far long do you think before Tesla will support voice control? Or perhaps ML driven system that knows how to adjust the climate based on the passengers? Tesla is a computer/car hybrid ya know?
They're solving a problem they introduced themselves eh?
Voice command: shout at car to make it cooler. Car doesn't understand. Shout at car to turn off radio so your voice command is clearer. Car doesn't understand. Take eyes off road to turn off the damn radio with the touch screen. Crash!
The button interfaces actually work 100% of the time. Voice command... lol...
Tesla created an interface that can only be used while driving by handing control over to software that is unable to recognize when a vehicle in front of you is at a dead stop.
I find talking to a machine uncomfortable and embarrassing, regardless of whether they work. I doubt I'm the only one who feels this way. Why can't I just turn a dial?
Give me a voice interface that works 100% of the time (not 99% of the time, not even 99.9% of the time) and I'm sold. Otherwise I'll continue to prefer a knob that "just works".
