I assume all of you know what Alexa is, right?
Yes.
So Toyota just announced that they're
adding Alexa to their cars so you can control things
with your voice.
It's supposed to be convenient and helpful.
Here's their commercial.
Starting this year, Toyota and Lexus luxury models
will come with Amazon Alexa.
Alexa, turn on the AC.
Turning on AC.
Finally, a virtual assistant to help you navigate--
Alexa, where is the nearest gas station?
Nearest gas station in 1.5 miles.
--and to help maintain your vehicle.
Alexa, order more brake pads.
Ordering new brake pads, although maybe
if you didn't stop so close to the car in front of you--
I left plenty of room.
You drive too aggressively.
If you were just quiet for two seconds-- two seconds.
She'll talk to you literally the entire time you're driving.
I think you should have turned back there.
I know where I'm going!
[SIREN BLARING]
Hi.
You know why I pulled you over?
No, officer.
Because we were driving 72 miles per hour
in a 45 mile per hour zone.
Anything else I should know?
Two miles back, we rolled through a stop sign
without coming to a complete stop.
Also, there are illegal fireworks in the trunk.
Sir, I'm going to need you to step out of the car, please.
Amazon Alexa, you'll never get away from her.
[APPLAUSE]
