2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC 200 road test review

We were up in the mountains recently and you will read all about it next month in OVERDRIVE. But the return journey was quite taxing - a long distance that had to be finished in limited time in a car that doesn t like tarmac, big traffic jams to contend with around the Delhi protests and new procedures at the airport to follow in the wake of the ongoing pandemic - all of which wore me down by the time I landed in Mumbai. Even a walk to the terminal s café felt like a burden. The kind folks at Mercedes-Benz had agreed to send the test GLC to the airport itself, but now it had started seeming like a bad idea. I would have preferred to be driven home. But like most owners of GLC, it was the front seat that was waiting for me. Sort of a role-play, then.

The mobile voice assistant wars have largely been won by the two biggest mobile OS platform owners, Google and Apple. Say what you want about Wear OS s glitches or Siri s shortcomings I hear you. The simple fact is that both Android/Wear OS and iOS/watchOS are much more ubiquitous and capable of providing on-the-go assistance than Alexa currently is.
The Apple Watch SE and Series 6 are arguably the two best smartwatches available, and both feature easy access to full-featured Siri for assistance. Even though the Wear OS platform trails watchOS in many respects, it has continued to be updated with new features and functionality, and there are still several OEMs making some of the best Android smartwatches with Google Assistant support, such as Oppo, Mobvoi, and Fossil.
