(Proving the point about the news and its tendency to focus on the currently popular issue)

I would define the core capability as “takes audio, extracts meaning, matches to intent, executes intent”. Everything else is an implementation of a specific intent/action. Some of them are likely fragile and depend on integration APIs that may be changing or going away.

Ultimately, yes, it is corporate-speak to sugarcoat what looks like a net negative for users at the current time with nebulous claims of a better future.

“focus” is the key word. There are only so many resources, and if you have to spend time maintaining and testing features that don’t get use, you can’t spend those resources on the features that do get use, or on anything new.

Is the end result truly a better experience? Who knows, but the phrasing isn’t quite as nonsensical as it seems.

Exactly. Or, using the adaptive cruise control and lane keeping that many cars have these days. (Regular) Autopilot is becoming less of a unique feature of Teslas.

I would like to believe (but lack data to point to to support it) that ADAS is making roads safer overall. There are cases that aren’t covered yet, and driver complacency is a problem for those, but so is complacency in a driver’s belief that they can stare at a phone in their lap but not drift out of their lane and cause an accident, which is something ADAS will protect against.

Salzburg, Mariazell (specifically hiking through Ötschergräben), and anywhere in the Austrian Alps are all excellent.
