Your home assistant Alexa is now your co-pilot. Echo Auto connects to Alexa via your phone and attaches to your dashboard. Through its 8 microphones, it hears your voice over music, AC, and road noise, and speaks and plays through your car speakers. Simple as that: your home assistant, now also your road assistant.
Use your voice to play music, ask for directions, find nearby restaurants, make phone calls, and anything else you would ask Alexa to do at home, now while driving. With Alexa’s 50,000 skills and counting, the possibilities are endless. It’s basically like having a cooperative friend in the passenger’s seat always ready to help, so you can keep your hands on the wheel and your focus on the road. It feels so right that we’re wondering how come we didn’t think of it sooner. Amazon Echo Auto uses your existing smartphone plan and is currently available through invitation only.
