alt Hacker NewsI think I want a physical AI device.
I want an AI assistant that I can use truly hands free. I keep my phone in my jacket when I'm riding my motorcycle. I want to be able to start, stop, adjust, and check details in route guidance. I want to be able to ask what the weather is like ahead on my route. I want to be able to ask it to start looking for a sensible place for me to stop for fuel and/or food without making me do a big detour.
Actually I would also quite like better driving directions, since I can't look at the directions on a screen.
None of these demands need an AI in a box.
They need software companies to give a damn and improve apple maps/gmaps/etc.
Or perhaps pull over and adjust your routing like most of us do, or maybe bolt a sacrificial phone with maps on it to a holder. If you don't want to risk your main phone.
