This sounds like exactly what I wanted. There have been a number of times I've been in the car and wanting to ask Siri something it couldn't handle has been a lot e.g. "What state am I in, and how far am I to the border to the state I'm going to cross next, and can I pump my own gas on each state I'm driving through?" Though a bit of that is premised on whether it could extract information from google maps.

>... and can I pump my own gas on each state I'm driving through? Huh? Seems like an odd thing to feel the need to ask, as up until last year, the answer was always, "Only if you're driving through Oregon or New Jersey". Now, you're only unable to pump your own in NJ.

What kind of trip was this where these were pertinent questions? Couldn't you have just rephrased most of them? "What is my current location?" "Show maps." "Which states don't allow you to pump your own gas?"

I thought Oregon was the only state with “pump gas for you”laws?

Carplay Siri functionality is currently neutered. A lot of times it won't answer more complex questions that would otherwise be answered without Carplay.

  I haven't found this to be the case. Does Siri explicitly refuse to answer questions, or does it misunderstand you? Maybe the microphone in your car makes hearing difficult?

Of course that will only work if you're using Apple Maps.

I think most of what you're talking about is going through Apple Intelligence, not chatGPT. That "Apple Intelligence" stuff is supposed to be more local and personal to you, accounting for where you are, your events, things like that. There's an API for apps to provide "intents," which Siri can use to chain everything together. (Like "cost of gas at the nearest gas station" or something like that.) None of that is OpenAI, according to the keynote.
