> I think if they had gone first they might have made that mistake too, but now that it's been tried they can find interesting ways to innovate that don't break the experience.

I’m just hoping that they don’t relegate a lot of stuff like climate control to a Siri-only interface.

I don't honestly think I'd mind.

I think they should prioritise physical controls for stuff you use regularly and I'd be happy to have voice on controls for stuff I use very infrequently.

Like putting the rear window wiper on, barely use it and half the time I accidentality turn it on (or someone else using the car does) and I have no clue how to get it off again. Just saying "siri clean the rear window" or "turn the rear window wiper off" would honestly just be easier.

butterfly keyboard buttons maybe or a circular touchbar on the wheel?
