    Why do we need “enriching conversations” built in a car at all? Aren’t you supposed to be focusing on the road?

    VW promises it won’t force you to create a new account or install any apps.

    Not yet, anyway.

      They saw us get angry at a heating subscription and decided we are tiktok brained idiots who lack the skill to be social with humans and found another potential subscription service justification that causes less anger?

      Conversation keeps me alert if I’ve been driving a long time. I don’t know if artificial conversation would be as effective, but at least it’s an option.
