Dropping the Fomoco recommendations was predictable. It seems like a lot of unnecessary complexity to appeal saleswise to today's generation of gotta-be-connected types. I expect to see a spike in distracted drivers as this junk proliferates.

Saying that the Tahoe was "ungainly" is like saying Moby Dick was "large". Seems self-evident, but hardly a reason for a lack of recommendation.

I don't get it... you press a button and tell your car to change the temperature to 22c or switch to 102.1 FM. You don't have to press buttons or navigate anything. It's brilliant and it beats looking away from the road and fumbling with some impossible to find switch the way some cars have it laid out.

I agree. If you can't figure this system out then perhaps driving a vehicle is beyond your skill-set as well.

That's not the problem. It's all the other net-connected crap.
