Boredom set in, and my kid asked Mercedes, "Hey Mercedes, tell me a funny joke." In its natural language, it told her a joke about why scientist don't trust atoms . . . atoms make up everything. So she asked Mercedes again, "Tell me another funny joke." In its natural language, Mercedes told her a joke about why bicycles are always laying down . . . . because its two (too) tires.

I opted in for the beta ChatGPT in the app. Have you discovered anything outrageous yet?

 

Ask, What do you think of BMW? I get two different funny answers.

 

The jokes were around before the Beta program. What I have noticed since the program started is smarter nav guidance.

 

You can ask about cooking recipes. Historical sports scores. Etc

 

My favorites so far are:

"Why did the tomato blush? It saw the salad dressing!"
"Did you hear about the cheese factory that exploded in France? There was nothing but des brie."
"What do you call a fake noodle? An impasta."
"Sausage puns are the wurst."
"What do you call a bear with no teeth? A gummy bear."

I'm not sure if every one of these prompts or commands is valid as this is a long list.

State-Of-The-Art Voice Control

After that you can issue commands like:

• "I'm cold. Turn on the heating.”
• Do you answer queries "How many degrees should I set the heating to"?
• With your desired temperature x
• Your desired command will then be executed.

Hidden Feature:If you press and hold the voice command button on your steering wheel, it does something completely different. The assistant on your phone will be activated when your phone is connected to the car. For example, if you have an iPhone, "Siri" will be activated, and if you have an Android phone, "Google" will be activated. That means you can command your car without Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. So it can enable a lot of functionality in case you don't have any of those things.

10 "Hey Mercedes" Commands You NEED To Know!

1. Navigation
2. Ambient Lighting
3. Climate Control
4. Ventilated/Heated Seats
5. Radio
6. Phone Call
7. Destination
8. Stock Prices
9. Massage Seats
10. Final Words

 

Some commands do not require 'hey mercedes." I am listening to my usb music and want to go to the next song, I just say "next song" and Mercedes advances to the next song.

 

If you get tired of saying “Hey Mercedes” you can just press the voice button on the steering wheel instead. Saying “Hey Mercedes” gets old quick……

 

I wish it could do two commands at once like turn on massage seats and seat ventilation or turn on driver and passenger massage.

I also wish there was an option to make responses more concise vs an entire sentence.

 

Hmmm....I wonder if every language the car can "do" has its own set of jokes???

 

Sometimes she embarks on a long-winded explanation of something and I don't want to hear any more. Any suggestions about how to stop her immediately in her tracks?
I tried "ENOUGH!" a couple of days ago and I think it stopped immediately, but I have to repeat this experiment in order to be sure. I had a lot going on at that point and just wanted her to stop babbling.

 

Thanks for the reminder! I meant to post this too.

 

yes. Just press the phone hang up button on the steering wheel
