In the demo the names of places you been to or texted about recently show on the screen. You would have to disable the assistive feature to avoid that. Perhaps you don't want the wife to know you recently went to the diamond ring store for any number of reasons. It also shows your recent calls on screen. Again, you might have a good reason not to show that list to your wife or girlfriend.
Let's say you receive a call while driving from someone who was not in your contact list, perhaps your banker. You then hang up but think out loud, oh I should have asked him something else but I don't have his number. Your wife, being the clever iPhone user just reaches over and taps the recents button and voila, there is your recents lists in all its glory.
have worked in this market in the past, I'd say it has more to do with carefully navigating political waters between OEMs and Tier 1 head unit suppliers, than technical execution. In a way its similar to AppleTV and the cable vs content providers. Slow rolls out is probably best and political issues resolved on a case by case basis. This takes control away from traditional players who I am sure are not completely happy or comfortable with this. OEMs don't want to lose their "brand" and Tier 1 suppliers don't want to lose business which would normally be done by them for the OEM.

Whoop. There goes my privacy
your smartphone likely already does this all by itself now if you are using iOS7 or modern version of Android. On iOS you can turns this "feature" off. Not sure about Android however.

If I had a smartphone it would not run iOS or Android
I'm in the same boat. Was extremely disappointed. I'm sure Google woo'd them with some offer, but it's a very short-sighted decision for Audi. Just does not fit with their brand at all. Idiotic decision by their management.

Yes Android too, The setting is under accounts and privacy, then turn off "personal results". The setting to turn off contact recognition is under the same heading.
Was planning on getting a new Audi later this year. Sure won't get one now without iOS support. Why they would consider going with Google with all the risk of Android malware, etc. is beyond me. Don't they understand who their customers are (at least in the US)?
Or you can reread in context, and try and figure it out.
Or not.
You think I didn't read it in context the first time? I took your point to be that that you doubt Apple will clarify an ambiguous piece of text they published on their own website.
Not that? Explain what your point is more clearly then, because from where I'm sitting that's the most obvious interpretation of your words.

Or don't, be unhelpful, I care not.
Please give up. Run along. Enough already with getting others to do your thinking for you.

Driver may have a passenger
Driver doesn't really need to be viewing info he doesn't want the passenger to see. Moreover....who are you driving around?

I doubt that you're going to get any.
Really? Pretty rubbish feature then if no one knows about it because it never gets explained.
If nothing else, what Apple mean will become clearer when the product ships.
I wrote a letter to VW today. Very disappointing.

Not sure you understood my post.
Not for the first time.
Maybe you should rephrase then, instead of being passive aggressive?
Misunderstandings happen.
In what way? iOS already has access to that.
Then don't use it.
exactly!
Or you can reread in context, and try and figure it out.

Be quiet. iOS already uses that stuff, even Siri. It's not a big deal if only you see if. If you don't like it, don't use it.????
My point is that you people complain that Google looks through your stuff

Google does. And they store it, and use it for Ads. Apple doesn't.
That's the problem. Ya just never know. As far as the general population knew as of last year, the government didn't snoop through their stuff
