We are Flowers for Algernoning our technology.
If I use my phone (not android Auto), I can no longer say, "Navigate to ". It flat out does not work.
Navigate to Local Bakery Xyz.
(It tries to open the non-existent app for the local bakery).
If I'm in the car that has android auto, it refuses to let me type while in drive (fair enough) and it recognizes the "Navigate to..." Instructions, but if I click on the Maps nav bar for voice and say my destination (it literally says, no text while driving speak your destination)... It tries to open the app.
This shit used to work, it's getting actively dumber.
This morning I got fed up and asked,
"Can I use you to navigate somewhere?"
"Dutch Bros"
(Opens the Dutch Bros app)
