00:01:43 ◼   ► when voice recognition didn't work or [TS]

00:01:46 ◼   ► didn't exist but I find that I find that [TS]

00:01:49 ◼   ► it is it distracts me more than almost [TS]

00:04:51 ◼   ► temperature and air speed [TS]

00:04:52 ◼   ► surely you need to it you know just [TS]

00:04:54 ◼   ► those independently and the recirculated [TS]

00:04:56 ◼   ► the defroster and everything like but [TS]

00:04:58 ◼   ► but you know you don't have to do that [TS]

00:04:59 ◼   ► if it the car can automatically do that [TS]

00:05:01 ◼   ► changes to one control for temperature [TS]

00:05:03 ◼   ► higher temperature lower and that's what [TS]

00:05:04 ◼   ► I soon both your BMW is having it now [TS]

00:05:06 ◼   ► this still you can say defroster on or [TS]

00:05:10 ◼   ► things you have to worry about [TS]

00:05:12 ◼   ► we're making adjustments can you know [TS]

00:05:14 ◼   ► you don't have to find a way to make all [TS]

00:05:16 ◼   ► the seven controls that are in my cord [TS]

00:05:17 ◼   ► really easy-to-use you could say you [TS]

00:05:19 ◼   ► know what six of those controls are [TS]

00:05:20 ◼   ► stupid and we can just have a [TS]

00:05:21 ◼   ► temperature Dolly was up-and-down will [TS]

00:05:23 ◼   ► manage the rest of it for you so that's [TS]

00:05:53 ◼   ► like i enjoy because I i I'm constantly [TS]

00:05:56 ◼   ► you know the wrong temperature or [TS]

00:05:58 ◼   ► humidity so I'm always tailoring the [TS]

00:06:09 ◼   ► with but the thing is I mean that this [TS]

00:06:11 ◼   ► is silly but it gets back to another [TS]

00:06:12 ◼   ► point that that happens unconsciously [TS]

00:06:14 ◼   ► I'm not concentrating on doing it like [TS]

00:06:16 ◼   ► the controls are gigantic they're always [TS]

00:06:18 ◼   ► in the same place i do it constantly [TS]

00:06:19 ◼   ► it's just it's just like fiddling with [TS]

00:06:21 ◼   ► the pen cap with your fingers you know [TS]

00:06:24 ◼   ► unconsciously just happens [TS]

00:06:26 ◼   ► well it's interesting though is you say [TS]

00:06:28 ◼   ► that you know if you have a temperature [TS]

00:06:31 ◼   ► control then in theory all the other [TS]

00:06:33 ◼   ► control should go away but it's not [TS]

00:06:35 ◼   ► quite that simple and generally speaking [TS]

00:06:37 ◼   ► you're right i set a temperature in my [TS]

00:06:39 ◼   ► car [TS]

00:06:39 ◼   ► and it's that temperature that's all I [TS]

00:06:41 ◼   ► care about but there are times when I [TS]

00:06:43 ◼   ► think to myself man i really could use a [TS]

00:06:47 ◼   ► my feet are freezing to death or [TS]

00:06:48 ◼   ► whatever the case may be and it ends up [TS]

00:06:50 ◼   ► that i use the controls to to direct the [TS]

00:06:53 ◼   ► airflow yeah those controls that I [TS]

00:06:56 ◼   ► theoretically shouldn't have to you but [TS]

00:06:58 ◼   ► you can also adjust events to like man [TS]

00:07:00 ◼   ► surest events to aim at different spots [TS]

00:07:02 ◼   ► on it and what I'm thinking mostly it's [TS]

00:07:03 ◼   ► like if you don't remember back in the [TS]

00:07:04 ◼   ► back in the prehistoric times manual [TS]

00:07:06 ◼   ► controls you will set things to what you [TS]

00:07:08 ◼   ► think is a comfortable setting but then [TS]

00:07:50 ◼   ► no it's good good so I it when Marco you [TS]

00:07:55 ◼   ► brought up using a signal it occurred to [TS]

00:07:58 ◼   ► me I've wanted to talk to you guys about [TS]

00:07:59 ◼   ► car and driving etiquette and that [TS]

00:08:02 ◼   ► includes us a few different yeah and so [TS]

00:08:05 ◼   ► we're really gonna lose all our [TS]

00:08:13 ◼   ► like to hit in the first of which is [TS]

00:08:15 ◼   ► turn signals and I'm of the opinion that [TS]

00:08:17 ◼   ► if you have for functioning limbs and [TS]

00:08:19 ◼   ► particularly to functioning arms and [TS]

00:08:22 ◼   ► you're not using a turn signal then and [TS]

00:08:24 ◼   ► I'm sorry going to believe this but [TS]

00:08:26 ◼   ► you're so you know in theory only need [TS]

00:08:28 ◼   ► the left arm and that's true actually so [TS]

00:08:31 ◼   ► you can go ahead if you have that [TS]

00:08:33 ◼   ► functional and I think you're covered [TS]

00:08:35 ◼   ► I agree so are you guys developed in [TS]

00:08:37 ◼   ► your usage of turn signals or not at all [TS]

00:08:40 ◼   ► hundred percent always turn signals like [TS]

00:08:42 ◼   ► burning putting on a seatbelt never [TS]

00:08:44 ◼   ► don't do it [TS]

00:09:13 ◼   ► like backing up out of his driveway he [TS]

00:09:16 ◼   ► would use a turn signal to indicate [TS]

00:09:18 ◼   ► which direction the butt of the carbons [TS]
