New Volvos let you “hey Google, turn on my seat heating”. I wish it wasn’t google, but the voice interface is great while driving.

  Oh lovely, now my kids can fuck with my seat, assuming the computer can hear one of them over the other one talking about something else. This is a regression in usability compared to luxury cars from 30 years ago.

    I guess they don't have hands to press the seat heat button either?

      They would need some pretty long hands to reach the dashboard if they're in the back seat.

    This doesn't seem like that big of a problem to me. Yeah, your kids are going to be amused when they find out they can turn on the heated seat. Then you tell them not to do that. If they still do it, then you hand out punishments as appropriate. The kids will decide that the amusement of messing with your heated seat isn't worth the consequences and you go on with life.

    It'll be pretty obvious if that happens, though.
