voice commands. - NO, a thousand times NO!
I do not want screaming kids in the back seat operating my car controls by (to, and for) accident.

Apart from kids, what about just having a conversation with your passengers or listening to music? What about wanting to just have a quiet drive after a hard day's work?
Voice commands are not the answer, gen Z!

Huh? How would voice commands interfere? You just press a button to activate it.

Maybe you do, but for the majority of us, that button is bolted down and hidden behind 2mm sheet steel.

Because there are times when you simply don't want to say anything to your car. You don't want having to rely on voice commands for basic functionality, to constantly interrupt peace and quiet.

How can that happen? The button to activate the voice command is on the steering. You can't activate it with a wake word. I suppose on some cars there may be a wake word to activate it, I'm sure it can be disabled.
