They weren't covered in the video, but you can control your AC with those buttons. The add-on buttons offere an alternative, at an extra price of course, but at least you'll have the option to do so. Also, in most chinese cars, they have really good voice assistants. Think of them like Siri or Google Assistant, as they're more than just voice controls, but can perform more complex tasks. You could just use that to adjust the climate if you want. They're pretty responsive, and in my opinion much better than Tesla's.

@CampGareth Ай бұрын

There are limits to the phone-as-infotainment thing. Phones must fit in a pocket and even foldables top out at ~8 inches while car displays are 10-15. So a tablet then? But the mount must be rock solid, it cannot move while being prodded or going down a cobbled street. There's integration too, if a car has a HUD that can display GPS directions usually that's only if you use the built in satnav not your phone. I think phone-as-infotainment makes sense in low end vehicles like a Dacia Spring but not high end ones.

@theelectricmonk3909 Ай бұрын

@@CampGareth Eh, no - you plug your phone into the car, and the car uses the phone as a source of data. My MG4 does that - it doesn't have its own satnav, so I plug my phone in & get Google maps satnav (just like on my phone, only on the car screen). It also automagically handles incoming voice calls (video calls confuse the crap out of it though!)... so whilst it's far from perfect, it does work quite well; and as long as Android Auto (or Apple Car Play) keep being updated, I guess the capabilities of the link will continue to improve too. Where it's limited is if your phone is a bit shit (and mine's a Xiaomi phone - albeit an older one that's seen a couple of years of use), sometimes it can take a good couple of minutes for the satnav to come up. The other thing I find a tad annoying is only one of the two front USB ports supports Android Auto (and it's not the USB3 port), and anyway why can't it do everything wirelessly? I should be able to plonk my phone down on an inductive charging pad & have all the Android Auto functions available via Wifi... ah, maybe one day.

Chinese engineers work harder and longer than Western engineers for about a third of their salaries. This is why they can sell their products far cheaper.
