I could not want this less.
Prepare to get even more of your money buying stuff you thought you had never thought by our life was missing, all I'd want is a good, faultless Satnav, a voice system that recognises what your saying no matter what part of the UK you come from, I want to make my own choice of what I want to buy, or what's on my Screen while I'm driving, also, a screen for everybody in the Car will kill the art of conversation, will the pleasure of actually driving disappear?
Amazon makes the best choice recognition system out there: Alexa.
Well, I won't have Alexa in the house, so it would be hypocritical to have it in the car.
Sorry, Stellantis, no sale. I know that privacy concerns seem a bit old fashioned these days, but not all of us want the world's biggest shop listening to us 24/7.
Agreed. The clue is in the article: "the firm's Alexa voice assistant, which will be used for navigation, maintenance, COMMERCIAL and PAYMENT functions".
It will be listening all the time. Seriously creepy stuff.
They simply listen all the time in order to be able to react to your inputs. Nobody gives a about what else you talk.
