    They'd have got more kudos if they added Apple CarPlay and Android Auto instead.

    You are assuming what their goal is. Do CarPlay and android Auto spy on you as well as Alexa?

    The other question is how much did Amazon PAY Toyota to do this?

    This is very cool.
    The people I know that have put Alexa in their cars are very happy with it.
    I haven’t done it myself yet but I’ve been very tempted
