You ignore the fact that this is meant to be controlled by Siri and, yes, tactile knobs and switches in your car. It says it right there on the linked page. Little to no distraction needed.

Nothing to improve road safety like elaborate arguments with a speech recognition engine...
C'mon, this is Hacker News. Let's try to look beyond the current state of technology and think about its potential instead.
You'll acclimate to it like you do everything else in life. People learned to drive just fine after coming out of horse drawn carriages and wagons. Don't act like people are not adaptable to innovation and change.
You think Siri is bad, try the ones built into 5 year old cars.
You don't even need to look that far back. Cars being released as new today have horrible speech recognition compared to what you can get with siri/google now.

Too late. The cat is already out of the bag and everyone is already doing all of this anyway, except awkwardly holding their phone up to their face at the same time.
