I almost bought one too, but something about the car (id7) didn't work for me. I hope they can improve it before my current car breaks down.

Mostly a feeling, but I think it's due to the control/media systems being too complex. Too much stuff.

I absolutely hated that the car picked up something we said as its control words and told us that it didn't understand what we wanted. Bit of a dystopic moment, especially when it happened right when I was trying to figure out how to work the car.

That AI stuff just 100% positively MUST be opt-in.

I would never buy a car that is "connected". In general I hate it when a device can listen for spoken commands. And I don't trust those opt-in/opt-out options, I don't think they all follow that setting, they just don't let you know/notice they still listen. (Call me paranoia, I don't mind ;) )
