But doesn&#8217;t listen. It says&nbsp; &#8220;8th floor&#8221; when we get there. But I can&#8217;t just say &#8220;8th floor&#8221; to go up, I have to press a button. And my elevator doesn&#8217;t recognize me, nor my voice. So anyone else who is not authorized can go to the 8th floor. I think it&#8217;s time that what Nest did to thermostats, somebody does to elevators. Have elevators respond to voice commands and only take authorized users to their floors.&nbsp; And how about having elevators tell you if your little kids get in by mistake. Or they notice that you walked in and tell your Uber or Lyft &#8220;Martin is arriving in 1m&#8221;. Or have sensors in the front door that call the elevator down before you get to it.&nbsp; Or use AI to learn building traffic patterns along the day and save energy and time for building occupants. There&#8217;s lots of cool things that a smart lift could do.<\/p>\n<div id=\"mainphotoarea\"><\/div><div class=\"theme-buttons\"><div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"https:\/\/english.martinvarsavsky.net\/?p=201808\" data-send=\"false\" data-layout=\"box_count\" data-width=\"71\" data-show-faces=\"false\" data-font=\"arial\" data-locale=\"en_US\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My elevator talks to me.
