Some of what they describe sounds like it's going to take some real adjustment before it stops being annoying and starts being useful, namely the assumption of what you want when you get in and out.
> If you don’t say anything, the car will look at your calendar and take you there as the assumed destination or just home if nothing is on the calendar.
Oh boy. If you get in your car, it will just assume it should start driving somewhere more or less immediately? What if you want to sit for a few minutes?
I know, I'm taking them very literally. Just saying, though.
> When you arrive at your destination, simply step out at the entrance and your car will enter park seek mode, automatically search for a spot and park itself.
Again, what if I'm unpacking things for the car, or don't want the car to go anywhere? I don't want to have to pull out my phone and tap on something to stop it rolling away, or jump in front of it or something, or open a door.
Hopefully it obeys simple voice commands directed towards it like "wait here for now."

What if you want to sit for a few minutes? You think they won't have a "Go" button on the 17" touchscreen? > Again, what if I'm unpacking things for the car, or don't want the car to go anywhere? I don't want to have to pull out my phone and tap on something to stop it rolling away, or jump in front of it or something, or open a door. Again—there is a 17" touchscreen right there. You don't control your car with your phone or your voice. Have you never seen a Tesla?
- aerovistae 10y agoI own one, and I can control it with both my voice and my phone. Have you ever seen one?
- imtringued 10y agoI don't understand which text you're quoting. The article doesn't even contain the word "calendar".
