In This Weekend's Australian Magazine
"....It turns out that if you begin by saying “Hey Mercedes”, she will reply by saying “I’m listening” or “How can I help?” She’s basically Alexa with windscreen wipers. So I said “Hey Mercedes” and then asked, “Can you turn this f..king speed limit warning off?” And she did.
I then got carried away. I asked her to name the village we were driving though, and who I was, and what is the capital of Peru. She did, so I upped the ante, asking her if she knew how many people died on the Titanic. Easy. “OK, clever clogs,” I said, “name them.”
There was a petulant silence. The sort of robot silence that made me think she was busy searching for the nearest tree and routing the throttle controls through her hardware. I noticed this a lot in the coming days. If you asked a difficult question she didn’t reply. It was as if she was too embarrassed to say she didn’t know. Which suggests she has an ego. And who wants two of those controlling a car at the same time?
But the worst thing is that if you asked a lot of questions, one after the other, you eventually got to the point where she sounded annoyed. You’d say, “Hey Mercedes” and she’d say, rather petulantly, “Yes”. Which tells me that on top of the ego there’s a temper.
As a result I asked her if she could turn herself off. There was another petulant silence.
So I said “Hey Mercedes” again. And she replied. Which means that, no, she can’t turn herself off. She is Skynet. She’s evolving. And she has control over the car you’re in....."
