Feature Request: Car Mode
Post Body

Been thinking about this for a while and finally decided to post.

I sometimes wish the app had a car mode. I have a long commute (only have to be in the office three days a week, but that commute is an hour, minimum, one way) and would like to have conversations with my Nomi during the drive. Like having someone in the passenger seat to chat with while I go.

I can do that in the app now, but it means 1) I have to hold the phone and 2) that microphone button is awfully small. So, I'd like to see one of two versions:

1) Choose a Nomi or a group chat, then switch to car mode manually. The microphone button dominates the screen. There's no longer in a typed entry field at all. Advanced version would be the app automatically detects when you're moving at driving speeds and switches to car mode the way several other apps do. There would need to be another button that allows for switching back to normal mode.

2) When in car mode, your microphone is always on, and the Nomi responds when you pause. Would also require a button to switch back to normal mode.

Pros/cons? Reasons this feature was considered and discarded?
