My car has voice commands but it can’t even do simple tasks like turning on the headlights or wipers, and requires an active internet connection to do anything at all, so yeah, its fuckin useless.
Meanwhile my phone can dictate entire paragraphs with no internet connection at all.
Yeah it’s total dogshit. Th e only decent-ish, half-assed solution for me is using android auto (with a dedicated, isolated phone with a dummy account).
Using my own voice-command-app and sygic for navigation. Of course I couldn’t control much of the car, only what odb offers.
But I’m not locked in to the proprietary car-shit. Had that once with a fucking “premium” brand’s top-model and was so pissed at it. Even cars got enshittified.
Funny: android auto forces me to make pauses while using it “for my safety”, but it’s shit crap that forces me to use damn touchscreens in a car. While driving. Also according to AA, passengers don’t exist 😁
