It appears its going to continue to fall on deaf ears, because they have “Data” that proves us wrong, so apparently suno, magic camera, and fun stuff like that is what we really want and that basic assistant features aren’t necessary or important.
Oh but I have some exciting news. There is a new auto company called Hare and they are introducing a new breakthrough automobile called the H1.
I was an early adopter and got one of the first cars released. During the keynote they talked all about the features and everything it could do and a really exciting part was that the car was also a submarine, but even more exciting they announced that though it was still in experimental mode that later this year it would also be a spacecraft.
Man I got so excited i shat in my pants and got online and preordered one right away. I waited and waited and finally my brand new car was in my driveway I was the first one in my neighborhood with one, man its sure nice looking with the brightest colors I have ever seen and beautiful curves.
I sat in the drivers seat but noticed right away there was no seatbelt latch to hook my seat belt into hmmm how strange. So decided to go on a trip so I pushed the button to start the car but it wouldn’t respond, so i asked in the group on discord and was told I needed to push the start button 5x and sure enough it started. so I put the car in reverse and well crap it wouldn’t go anywhere come to find out, it does have the capability of reverse the equipment is there but they decided not to utilize it,
So after i figured out how to turn my car around without reverse i started driving down the road and decided that I would listen to some of my music, the entertainment center came with the option to hookup my Spotify or apple music but once i singed into one of the services I couldn’t control my music or play any of my playlist and when it did work the only way to control the volume was to get out of the car and turn a knob in the trunk, and then all of a sudden it was in maintenance mode and unusable.
I came up to a stop sign and the car in front of me wasn’t paying attention so I thought I would honk the horn so they would go, but discovered Hare didn’t turn on the horn function either well after the car in front of me finally decided to go, i hit the accelerator and the car wouldn’t go. I had to hit the start button 5x again to get it to respond before I could go.
So i decided to drive to the lake and test out the submarine feature I drove into the water and it floated just fine i was super excited and hit the controls to dive and nothing because the car lost its connection to the internet and was basically a brick just floating in the water, once my network connection was restored I started to dive and lost network connection again so i floated back to the surface and managed to get out of the lake.
I was starting to get a bit aggravated and everyone in discord was saying hey the company is new and this product is new so lets just be patient and wait for Hare to add the missing features and fix the ones that the car currently has, meanwhile they keep promising that later this year the spacecraft feature will be coming and all this wait would be worth it So I parked the car because it was useless to me without all the basic car features one would expect.
In the mean time Hare decides to ad some fun features to the car, like the ability to use the cars camera’s and take some cartoon funny pictures of your surroundings, on and since your apple or sportify isn’t working all the time we will give you the ability to make your own music but you have to wait until you get home to a PC so you can retrieve your pictures or songs, because for whatever reason they decided that nobody would want to see the pictures or hear the songs in the car with the included screen or speakers.
When I went into the discord to ask about these features and ask why we are getting all these gimmicky fun features prioritized instead of the basic car features that are missing, the other users get mad and say give them time well I have been waiting 10 weeks now and hare just wants to talk about those fun features and says the data supports their decisions to include them and stay quite about the rest of the features that should have been with the car from day 1
But hey all this is acceptable because the company is a startup and this technology is new and I should just shut up and wait longer and maybe my car will be functional in the near future.
