The voice recognition software has troubles understanding his accent

We all have had our crazy fights with technology at one point, but this Norwegian guy trying to use voice commands in his Audi car is really hilarious.

Well, truth be told, his English accent is terrible so the voice recognition software of the car is having a hard time understanding him.

The driver from Norway doesn't ask too much, he simply wants the car to play some music of his choice, like Nickelback or 2Pac. However, the computer doesn't understand his commands at all due to his funny accent.

The man becomes frustrated, pulls faces, gesticulates and even argues with the voice recognition. He repeats the commands, yells at his car, but the voice recognition just can't grasp his Scandinavian accent so it gives totally incorrect responses. What's more, at one point, the system appears to ignore him altogether.

Maybe the car is just trying to stop him from listening to Nickelback, or maybe it is showing what normal people would have done in such a situation, namely stop listening to him.

His hilarious reaction has been filmed by a passenger on the front seat and posted online. The video has already been viewed more than 400,000 times.
