> thinks it’s a good idea to require touchscreen interaction for nearly everything
I use voice control for almost everything that I adjusted with physical controls on my previous car.
If voice control isn’t your jam, then I humbly suggest that the screen is very easy and fast to use once you get accustomed to the different UI. There definitely is an adjustment period, but it’s not long, imho.

I think we agree that it is inappropriately named. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t do some things extremely well (it does).

This has happened to me approximately never, and I use AP a lot.
It will turn off if it can’t see the lines, which is why I think it is grossly misnamed, but that’s why you are supposed to be ready to resume control at any moment. This is what the user manual tells you to do.
- bluGill 4y agoVoice control isn't my thing. Touchscreen is not accepable as a substitute, I need buttons where I can feel that i'm hitting the right one without taking my eyes off the road.
- izzydata 4y agoI'm not even very old, but I refuse to talk to a computer. That is not a real world use-case to me. At best it is a neat gimmick. Cars need buttons, dials, switches or whatever else has some tactile response to being used.
