This defies all logic, especially for a behemoth retailer and manufacturer like Amazon. There were over a million pre-orders.Ĭrazy. If you visit the product page, you’ll see it’s “Invitation Only” still, as of August 14th, 2019.ħ months ago, Amazon finally started shipping out orders for Echo Auto. But, almost a year after Echo Auto was announced… there’s still no sign of Amazon’s Echo Auto. Anker, iOttie, Garmin, Muse, and Nextbase to name a few. Now there are a whole bunch of readily available Alexa-enabled products for your car. Over the course of the past year, Amazon has opened up the API for its famous voice assistant tech to 3rd party developers. I figured it might be a few weeks or maybe a couple of months at the most, and I’d have my hands on it. Being a car guy and loving voice assistants like Siri and Alexa, this was at the top of my “take my money now” list.Īs soon as Amazon made the invitation-only wait list available, I immediately submitted my email address. The more “out of the box” products included a microwave oven, a wall clock that reminds me of my old classrooms when I was a kid, and the most exciting for me–“Echo Auto”.

Septem(almost a year ago!) Amazon announced a bunch of new Alexa-enabled devices.
