Default My XC60 is haunted

On two occasions in the last week a banner very briefly has appeared at the top of the Sensus screen. This is accompanied by a voice saying something I can't quite make out. This takes place in a second or two.
Any ideas what is causing this?

Ask it to “Open the Pod Bay doors” and see what happens🚀

When it happens to me it's because I've accidently touched the "voice control" button on the steering wheel.

Oddly it has happened in the same location twice

Could it be your Google voice assistant (or Siri for those on the dark side) playing through the speakers via Bluetooth?

I had to change the settings on my phone as it was constantly waking up and responding to stuff said on Radio 4 (which made a change from me shouting at Radio 4 in the mornings.....).

That alleged human said anything else? Tried to talk to you? If it did not, it's most likely not a human but some voice assistant glitch.
