So what exactly is the Echo Auto? Basically, it’s an Echo smart speaker for your car. While it’s not actually a speaker, because it connects to your car’s stereo, it does act as one. So this is a quick and easy way to bring Alexa into your vehicle. Which is a very big deal. There are eight microphones included in the Echo Auto, with far-field technology, so you can easily talk to Alexa. Alexa is able to control your lights with your voice while you’re driving, it can also make phone calls for you, and even give you directions – though that aspect isn’t as good as it could be. Since it doesn’t use Google Maps. The Echo Auto is also designed to be used while on the road. With 8 microphones and far-field technology, Echo Auto can hear you over music, A/C, and road noise.
