Why does my car's voice command mishear me and play random songs?

[Stephen61]

I just got a new car with this fancy voice command system, and honestly, I’m struggling to get it to understand me half the time. It either mishears my request for directions or just plays a random song from my library. Has anyone else had this weird phase where talking to your car feels more frustrating than helpful?

Yep I get it the car voice command system can be a mood killer when it misreads directions and fires a random song instead.

Noise in the cabin and fuzzy wake words can throw off the system so you get the wrong command or nothing at all.

Maybe you asked for directions and it thinks you want a song so the route never shows up.

I would not rush to blame the hardware a firmware update helped some people and then not everyone.

What if the real issue is how we expect a car to read our minds instead of learning with us.

As a reader you notice the gap between human talk and machine talk that tension could be the hook not a bug.
