Gee, I just bought a Nissan. Maybe when they build Alexa into a Ford, I'll think about trading in. Nah. I wouldn't want voice to control my car without a lot of security in place. My Alexa responds to any voice.
I subscribe to Onstar, a GM thing with many other bennies, but it allows you to start your car remotely using a smartphone. I use it sometimes when it's either very hot (especially) or very cold. My car has a voice commands for various things, I mostly use them to control the radio. Occasionally I have got myself saying Alexa to the car. The car's ability to understand spoken input is not nearly as good as Echo, even for the limited number of commands the car understands. I like OnStar so well I will probably keep with the GM system in my wheels
I was just thinking. What if you're dosing in a self-driving car with voice command and the song Is this the Way to Amarillo comes on the radio and you wake up in the middle of Texas?
But then again I'm also a troglodyte who would never even use a remote key for fear of an eventual malfunction. I like my technology simple but sturdy.
