So stupid. All you do is say OK Google send message to (Name) and talk to text does it.

Really? That's never brought on anything but road rage when I've tried that.

You have to do the voice training segment for good results, but is works well except when a word or phrase sounds like another word.

Even dumber, 95% of tesla drivers their phone as a key and you can use the voice assistant built into the car to text for you

I remember the first time I was in a Tesla, the driver tried to turn on self driving to show it off and it immediately tried to lane change over to the wrong side of the road.

Even the cars want to commit suicide

While this is stupid and dangerous, people are already fucking sleeping with this shit in control. Texting isn't the biggest issue here.

No they're not sleeping. Evidence: they're still alive.
