Amazon Echo Auto is an Alexa gadget for the car
Amazon created a new Alexa device that can make any car
smarter.
The Echo Auto is a miniature smart speaker that mounts on your
dashboard. The device is Bluetooth-enabled, but can also connect
to your car via an auxiliary jack. It’s powered via USB or
cigarette lighter adapter.
Echo Auto works like any other Alexa device, which means you can
ask it to create a shopping list, ask Alexa where the nearest
Starbucks is, or get directions while you’re driving. You can
also use it to have audio calls with other Alexa-powered devices.
Echo Auto will be available by invitation only later this year.
The invitation price is $24.99, but the regular price will be
$49.99.
