>the only time a voice based UI is better is when the user is unable to use their hands. Driving
my observation of people on the road has led me to conclude that Driving is an activity where people think they can do absolutely anything else while engaged in it.
When you put it like that you will get a lot of upvotes. However for almost all specifics you will get a ton of downvotes when you name them, and probably someone saying no that is okay. (these days if you say "you can't drink alcohol while driving" you are safe, 30 years ago if there had been an internet people would have said you are wrong)
1. sending messages on phone while driving, one hand on steering wheel.
2. having sex / receiving oral sex.
3. turned around, yelling at kid in back seat to not fight with other kid in back seat.
4. girlfriend having argument with boyfriend, slapping him on arm some, about how she was smart too just a different kind of smart while swerving back and forth in fast merging traffic near the Haight (I was in back seat)
5. it's getting hot in here, time to take my jacket off!
