What could possibly go wrong?
I think it just means the GPS will be more eloquent as it tells you to drive down the boat ramp into the lake.
Maybe it’ll tell me Windows 11 Pro serial number when I get to the destination.
Haha, nice. I didn’t like that brand anyway. Keep getting rekt by Asian (e.g. Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Nissan, Honda), French (e.g. Renault, Peugeot) and northern (e.g. Volvo) manufacturers. German automakers are so far behind everyone else that it’s astonishing they still survive. Probably subsidies.
I literally never drove a German-made car made in the last 8 years and thought “wow, what a thoughtful infotainment and user experience”. It’s always laggy, complicated, hard to navigate and hard to use when driving.

Did you, or did you not drive German made cars in the past 8 years? Because in my experience, currently driving a BMW 320e (2021), I can attest that it is by far the best system I have used in any car. In my experience, way better than the brands you mention above. Perhaps I am one of those people that ensures these brands survive, because they make great automobiles that fit my needs.
I didn’t drive a BMW 320e (2021) but a BMW 320d Touring (2018). I could not get the navigation system to recognise my voice and the steering wheel buttons had a “lag” of at least 200-500ms before changing anything (e.g. picking up a call, ending a call, cycling through the speedometer menu). A friend of mine drives a recent M5 which seems to be better and to be fair, BMW is one of the better brands in terms of UX. But driving a recent VW id.3 really aggravated me to the point I drove back to the renting place and got another car.
Maybe it’s just preference and I prefer the snappier, cleaner interfaces of Asian cars instead of the “space ship” touchscreens with submenus upon submenus with lots of confusing options. I also didn’t drive those cars long enough to “get” them, but when I test drove a Hyundai Ioniq 5 before buying it I could just immediately… drive and use it, intuitively understanding all knobs and buttons. Maybe I have an Asian brain in a German body or something.
Everyone their cup of tea. I personally dislike Toyotas for their UX/UI and use of gigantic large fonts, I get why old people love them though
