Amazon also debuted the new Echo Auto, a gadget that hasn’t been updated since 2018. Echo Auto, like its predecessor, embeds Alexa in your vehicle, providing hands-free control over your car’s music system, Bluetooth-connected calls, and more.

The second-generation Echo Auto costs $54.99 and is smaller, making it simpler to place on your dashboard. It also has fewer microphones than the original, with five instead of eight, but it compensates with enhanced algorithms that allow it to identify voice commands over other noises in the vehicle, such as your radio or AC.

Despite the fact that certain BMW vehicles already support Alexa, the company is now using the voice assistant’s technology to construct its own system via Amazon’s Alexa Custom Assistant program. BMW intends to introduce its own vehicle assistant over the next two years.

 

Number 6. Next, we were introduced to a sleep-tracking bedside lamp called the Halo Rise
