My Maverick scolded me!

[VanMan120]

I was cut off by a bad driver and almost crashed into her. When I leaned on the horn to express my chagrin, my Maverick (2022 Hybrid XLT) announced in a female voice: "That wasn't very nice!"

I had to laugh, though the other driver deserved it. Anyone else had this happen?

The same thing happened to me with my Apple watch.
I was watching a news report on an RCMP investigation (Canadian Mounted Police) and made the comment that the RCMP were f'ing useless.
Unprompted, my Apple watch stated, in voice and text, "That wasn't very nice."
I promptly shut Siri off on my phone.

Now that you mention it, I suppose it could have been Siri listening in and coming through via Bluetooth. Sounded like her. Got me wondering!

Your watch was listening to you?
It's a sad world when you're alone in your truck and still can't escape being criticized by a female.
Soon this will happen. Warning language

Had to be, there is no built in voice assistant in the truck.

Generally speaking it's not a good idea to open Word docs from strangers.

Usually Siri responds to an audible trigger she hears, mostly something that resembles "Hey Siri...". It gets me wondering then that "leaning on your horn to express your chagrin" wasn't all that that transpired in the Maverick...care to share what what else she might have heard?

Siri would get a lashing in return, in my car.

OK Glen Baker, you sir are in trouble. It will take me a couple hours to clean all the coffee I spewed all over my keyboard! Hahaha. That said, I'm still laughing my friend. Funniest thing I've seen all month!

That's pretty hilarious. Side note - first thing I do with ANY GPS is TURN OFF the talking. I do not like to be nagged.

The fact that the computer controls braking and the throttle is cause for concern. Not from the video, but sooner or later, bad guys will be hacking cars.

It took me a while to figure out what to do the first time a Northstar cadillac told me, "Turn Singal On".

err, which signal? why?

I finally realized that it was using "turn" as an adjective modifying "signal", rather than an imperative!

I leaned on the horn after someone sat at the green arrow playing on their phone. The cop, unmarked car, behind me loud speakered to tell me that was unnecessary. I told him to do his job and ticket the distracted driver playing on their phone.
