Believe it or not, we used to have natural input, and it was often cited as a pain point (go figure). When I designed the madlib, I was planning on using typed entry, but the feedback swayed me towards a picker.
Small upside is the picker works pretty dang smooth on mobile devices. You can just tap tap tap with your thumb and be done in seconds.
If you want to see remnants of the natural input, go into the app view and visit the vehicle tab, where the live-search input is still in place.
