This is the most interesting of the new devices to me. My car has Car play and Android Auto support built in, but both have fallen short on doing what I want them to do. If Alexa's voice recognition can get along with me, this might work better for me.
I don't feel any compelling need to talk to my gadgets at home, but voice control that
actually works in the car, now that would be a dream come true.
My biggest concern though is what happens when you loose cell signal? Does it become useless?
