Why don’t the cars talk ?

Not really conversations just announcing weather, time, concerns and greetings, two way communications would be almost non existent. All yr doing is substituting beeps, texts with verbal confirmations. Turn AC on full…….tesla confirms. “Turning on AC to full confirmed. Is there anything else” ?.
 
I’m still waiting on Tesla to talk, like we had with Kitt. Love getting updates-but what’s up with the AI vocals delays. Tesla ‘spose to be advanced tech car so why it not greet us when we enter or warn us about weather, red light cams, accidents,etc. I’m not talking fsd chimes, I’m talking real live announcement like Siri, google. Example: “good morning MJ, it’s sunny and 65 degrees, on a Tuesday, 8:45am. Are we going straight to work ?”. Ok navigating to work-there’s seems to be a road closure ahead, rerouting. I am also detecting low tire pressure from right front tire.

if u want to listen to news or music, change stations-how about verbal confirmations “ok playing country music, channel 94.7 correct ?. Turn up heat-ok turning up heat to 3.

Give us the option to mute also but let’s get some interactions going, Tesla should respond with confirmation with every voice command.
 
I'm not sure as a society this will be healthy. The more AI does for us, the less we will remember how to do things on our own. We will quickly lose simple trouble shooting skills to repair systems or anything software related. I'm not saying a computer talking to us is bad. I just think we will forget how to locate the information on our own or just do things for ourselves.

I know, it's just like a calculator. Students can learn more higher math and not be burden about the simple equations. The problem is we're loosing the ability to do math in our heads. No one is learning the times tables. Now we have a full generation that can't even count change back if it wasn't on the screen in front of them.

Scenario: driving at night on a highway, u say Tesla how about some trivia. Car responds “ok what decade”—-80’s Tesla asks the questions, awaits yr responses, a buzzer for wrong or a chime for correct answers. That’s something in the toy box I’d actually use.
