Absolutely. How about kW charging rate when LV2 and DCFC or any myriad of battery nerd stats. How about the GD date somewhere? Okay a bit princess but man, we have time and temperature and compass direction, y'all can't just pop in a Wed, Jan 11 somewhere? More words, fewer icons? I've got UI issues, I know. I'm seeing someone about it.
Tapping a button, waiting for the beep, and saying something like “temperature 72” or “tune First Wave” is more convenient than taking my attention away from the road to mess around with tapping on the radio tile, then tapping on the station preset, then tapping on the navigation tile, or tapping on the temperature control, and turning the radio dial, watching as I turn the dial to 72 degrees.
...which is why the current design (touchscreen controls at the very bottom of the big-ass iPad) is horrible. Physical buttons are better than touchscreen OR voice. My 2016 Kia Optima was easier and safer to operate.Tapping a button, waiting for the beep, and saying something like “temperature 72” or “tune First Wave” is more convenient than taking my attention away from the road to mess around with tapping on the radio tile, then tapping on the station preset, then tapping on the navigation tile, or tapping on the temperature control, and turning the radio dial, watching as I turn the dial to 72 degrees.
Yes, I’d say one steering wheel button tap, followed by a voice command, while keeping my attention on the road is easier than futzing around with the screen. Pro tip: if you use a wake word, you can skip the button tap
Tap the button on the steering wheel, wait for the beep, and say “temperature 72 degrees” (or whatever temperature you want. The “degrees” is optional.) if you press that putting and say “help”, you will get a brief tutorial. The only time voice commands are cumbersome is if you have passengers who won’t STFU
