I think I want a physical AI device.

I want an AI assistant that I can use truly hands free. I keep my phone in my jacket when I'm riding my motorcycle. I want to be able to start, stop, adjust, and check details in route guidance. I want to be able to ask what the weather is like ahead on my route. I want to be able to ask it to start looking for a sensible place for me to stop for fuel and/or food without making me do a big detour.

Actually I would also quite like better driving directions, since I can't look at the directions on a screen.

None of these demands need an AI in a box.

They need software companies to give a damn and improve apple maps/gmaps/etc.

Or perhaps pull over and adjust your routing like most of us do, or maybe bolt a sacrificial phone with maps on it to a holder. If you don't want to risk your main phone.

The entire point is I don't want to have to stop in order to receive new information.

I don't know how to make that clearer, sorry.

Todays pulling over to adjust planning is yesterdays pulling over to make a call, and yesteryears pulling over to throw a map on the hood.

Riding on a motorcycle is already dangerous enough with the average land tank driver on their phone. Talking to your AI assistant while riding at speed sounds like pending split focus disasters waiting to happen.

I think it’s time you hand in your licence.

For getting off the road to park somewhere and replan a route?

Are you a bot?

For apparently being unable to listen to or participate in a conversation while operating a motor vehicle.

Earbuds exist.

I use Shure se215 IEMs inside my helmet together with a Cardo Packtalk (which includes a microphone mounted inside my helmet).

The audio setup is not the problem.

The problem is when I say "Hey Siri, cancel route guidance," it will say something like "…You must unlock your iPhone to do that."

The entire point is that I can't take my gloves off, get out my phone, and unlock it, at speed, on a motorcycle.
