The most American application of AI is always “it can order food for you”

Finally, I will have AI slop in my car! Not only that Maps will show me relevant ads and send the information about me to data brokers! This is what everyone was asking for!

I strongly disagree. The conversational features alone are worth the upgrade.

Gemini and Android being proactive and giving me a heads up to weather issues, traffic, road construction and speed reductions for work zones, localized events that can cause road detours, all in a conversational mode

Honestly I dont mind the Android Auto stuff. The YouTube thing is actually useful and I’ve noticed Gemini has already taken over the old AI and its voice recognition and response is better. With that said, I dont want AI to have any control of my car functions.

Make it safer. But allow you do do 800 more things other than focus on driving.
