The partnership was originally announced last year as part of Amazon’s push into cars. But the integration goes beyond Alexa’s usual bag of tricks.

Alexa’s integration allows users to control’climate and comfort settings’. It can also pull up a screen showing you the car’s intuitive and traction control.

The huracan EVO has some physical controls on the steering wheel and driver door, but a majority of the car’s features are adjusted through a screen in the center console. Giving Alexa more control over the car itself means less time hunting and pecking through menus.

It’s not like Alexa will be driving your car, but give it time for it. It’s n’t like Alexa would be driving the car. It was n’t as Alexa will drive your car.

Amazon’s tried to help smooth the transition with the Alexa-enabled echo auto in the past. We found the accessory worked best as a speakerphone and Bluetooth adapter.

Volvo’s polestar 2 launched in 2020 with Android automotive built-in and Google assistant integration for similar control over settings like air conditioning. The polestar’s Google-built software comes with a high price tag.
