Comment on BYD’s hybrid EV ute that could rival Australia’s bestselling vehicles goes on sale

  I use Android Auto so the “infotainment” system is pretty much just a screen for Android Auto to me. I’m sure it works fine under there though.

  I have found that being slightly racist and doing a bit of a Chinese accent makes the BYD voice assistant understand me better 😬 I do not do this when other people are in the car because… well, obvious reasons.

    I want this to be true so bad. The idea of like having to put on a comedicly overwrought accent to make a machine understand you is 👌

      I’ve tried this to good effect before when I got my current motorbike helmet headset - the voice commands on default settings worked much better when hamming it up with an American accent like one was trying to audition for a part in a Western. Luckily though I ended up finding out that Cardo also trained a British accent option in the settings, and that works a lot better if you want to talk like a normal person.

      I do this already with American accents and Google
