#3Cool, and no offense, but let me know when a third party reviews it.
Voice recognition and personal assistants are annoying enough in a quiet house (but arguably useful). I would be surprised if it is useful yet in a noisy moving car.

#4Heh, it would be cool to script it so that if it detects someone talking for a minute or two with the window down, then accelerates quickly away, it loudly plays the Knight Rider commercial break theme music.
Best example I could find is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTcvE5ptk6Q

This is not equivalent. The key distinction in the device from OP's post is that it actually connects to the OBD port in your car, giving you a direct connection the cars systems. The one you linked does not seem to do that at all.

I've seen people use Google Voice in a loud bar. It seemed to be effective. I can't get Siri to work under those conditions, however. The noise should be a solvable problem.

Anyone know how Android Auto (and Car Play) compare to the functionality exposed through the OBD port?
I have Android Auto and love it for navigation/music, but it is missing any car specific controls, eg. climate controls, reporting speed, maintenance, etc. I have to exit out of Android Auto and into Sync to access some specific functionality only available through the Sync touchscreen.
Is this just a case of the manufacturer needing to provide the right app, or is that information not available to third party apps running in those environments?

#8This looks an amazing project however I am very concerned about just how secure it is. Anyone remember the vulnerability disclosures of the existing in car systems and their ability for remote exploit resulting in a malicious party having control over things as essential as the cars velocity? AutoPi, while undoubtedly cool, definitely feels like quite an exploitable attack vector if not very carefully engineered. So I'd personally wait for an independent audit before buying this product.

They sandbox many of the different systems. Carmakers won't cede deeper control to Android Auto or Carplay because they want to hold on to being the main user interface. There's also safety, security, and data-sharing issues at play.
