Voice controls are much better for that kind of thing anyway. I expect they'll continue to improve.

- Saline9515 1y agoThe problem is that they imply that the car listens to all of your communications at all time, which many users would find creepy.
- Uvix 1y agoMy last two cars had button-triggered voice controls, which solves that concern.
- Insanity 1y agoYup, this is how I use my voice control in the car. It’s on the steering wheel.
- Terr_ 1y agoIMO physical-world safety measures are underused. Not just because they provide pretty hard barriers to certain attacks, but also because they often exist in a world the human user can notice and verify. For example, I would prefer to press a fob-button to unlock or start a car, but there are systems out there where thieves simply boost/relay the signal of your keys in order to open and and drive it away. Sure, there are countermeasures involving complicated speed-of-light timing tricks, but it could have all been avoided with a button.
- sebastiennight 1y agoIt solves that concern if the trigger is built in hardware, not if it's software-driven.
- Uvix 1y agoMost people already have a phone with a software-controlled microphone in their pocket; that’s generally considered good enough. For someone who really wants that level of hardware control, they’re probably better served by an older car with less or no computers.
