I want to just speak to the car like I do with Alexa or Google Assistant and have it work the same in the car and in the house. How hard is this to accomplish in 2019? Me: (Alexa/Okay Google/hey Siri) - set car temperature to 70 degrees... Car: Okay, temperature is set to 70 degrees No buttons, no unintuitive touchscreens, no taking eyes off road, no taking hands off steering wheel, just simply getting what you ask for. This technology is baked into phones already so this isn't exactly rocket science or some futuristic sci-fi technology, car manufacturers need to get with the 21st century and allow this level of integrations. Anyone know why it's taking so long to get this functionality?

Whoever named this project was probably in the same role at Microsoft in the '90s
