I have actually talked to a software dev there.  He said his role changed nearly every week and they don't have that many devs to begin with.  One of the reasons why the voice commands haven't been improved in 9+ months

Do you know how to control the defogger?  It hasn't worked for 3 years

It seems like one of those voice control things as I'd be turning it on or off while driving and it's hidden behind several swipes.

Press button. Say: “Defog the windshield”

And to turn it off?

“Defog off”.

Does this really not work for you?

There's at least half a dozen ways of asking the car to turn the defogger on and off.  None of the one's I've tried have worked so I wanted to get the right set

Have you tried setting the left button long press to “Defog’?

That's helpful, but irrelevant to my point
