This doesn't excuse Apple's poor design, but I highly recommend Keyboard Maestro to solve this problem for you. You can assign keyboard shortcuts to actions in specific programs (and much, much more) ... super useful program. htt

How about just require a photo upload and then look at the photo's metadata (time, date, GPS, etc) to match it up with the data they already have (i.e. where the driver is)? Maybe built in the camera directly into the app so that the d

Really interested in what sensor boards you used to detect everything. Have you shared any of your code at all? Sounds like a really cool project.

Apple definitely missed the boat on this. Unless their speakers are leaps and bounds better in some way, I don't see many people switching. Once someone has a couple of Amazon Echos, for example, why would they add a Google Home or App
