Yeah, I have a Mazda 3 and I love it... I'm hoping that they update the system for CarPlay support. Supposedly, CarPlay lines of code have been found on recent builds of the Mazda infotainment system.Ouch on the Mazda 6. Shame, because it's a great car.
Siri couldn't properly work in the car to save its life.Me: "Play songs from Abba"
Siri: "..."
Me: (louder) "Play songs from Abba!"
Siri: "... (15 second silence) I'm sorry but [bla bla bla can't hear what she said]"
Me: "Just play random songs"
Siri: "Calling Mom"
Me: (Takes eyes of road, grabs phone, cancels phone call)
Siri will never be as "good" as Google Now because Apple doesn't mine your data as intrusively as Google does.
I would suspect so, given how poorly and inconstant it works.
Siri is a gimmick Apple routinely programs to say cute rather stupid things to entertain
Google Now awaits commands and doesn't pretend to be a virtual comic or companion
problem is that almost everyone believes to be better than all the others in multitasking and so this kind of studies is not addressed to him/her.
Actually no, it shouldn't skew the results. This is because the results are normalised with a "baseline measurement" of a very easy task which represent value "1" on the scale (the minimum cognitive distraction) and a measurement of an artificial super-challenging task which represents value "5" (the maximum cognitive distraction). All other measurements are relative to these 2 values.
I guess the voice activation system must have changed. I have a 2010 mazda 3. I don't get how it could be considered distracting at all.Ouch on the Mazda 6. Shame, because it's a great car.
What the heck is going on in the Mazda 6 that it's so distracting?
I suspect the people who can't press a button and say "Hey, Siri [insert command here]" without driving through a stop sign are the same people who are causing my car insurance rate to go up in Illinois year after year.
