Yup. At the risk of being glib I would say this is 90% of the issue. Or more like 'the big blocking issue' at the moment.

Voice can do way more than we know, but we have no idea what it does or how to use it.

Standardizing the interface and providing tutorials would possibly change things dramatically.

And this goes for the back-end protocols as well.

The tech is way, way ahead of the UI and integration.

Imagine getting the power of 'git' with no tutorial and not really an understanding of what it does? Good luck with that.

90% of us would be using it in the car to do a lot of things if we really knew how to do it:

You: "Siri: Command. Open. Mail. Prompt. Recipients starting with S"

Siri: "Sarah, Sue, Sundar"

You: "Stop. Command. Message. To: Sunar. Thanks for the note. Stop. Send without Review"

Some of this already exists, but it's product specific etc. there needs to be some kind of natural universal interface - or we have to wait until the AI is really, really that good.
