I have found that being slightly racist and doing a bit of a Chinese accent makes the BYD voice assistant understand me better 😬

I want this to be true so bad. The idea of like having to put on a comedicly overwrought accent to make a machine understand you is 👌

I've tried this to good effect before when I got my current motorbike helmet headset - the voice commands on default settings worked much better when hamming it up with an American accent like one was trying to audition for a part in a Western. Luckily though I ended up finding out that Cardo also trained a British accent option in the settings, and that works a lot better if you want to talk like a normal person.

I do this already with American accents and Google
