“For example, [Rivian founder and CEO] Scaringe said, a driver could ask the Rivian assistant to turn on the ventilated seats before going deeper. “And then simultaneously say, ‘We were talking yesterday about this meal. I’m planning to have guests over on Friday. Can you help me think through what we’re going to make?’,” he said. The car could then pull the driver’s context from a conversation they had with the assistant on another device.”
First of all, if you need to *talk* to an #AI agent to turn on your ventilated seats instead of, you know, pushing a button, you need to hire some UX designers.
Second of all, nobody—ABSOLUTELY NOBODY—is going to ask their CAR how to plan for dinner guests.
