Amazon Echo Auto launched in India, brings Alexa to your car 

Days after launching Echo Flex and Echo Input Portable, Amazon has launched Echo Auto in India. While Echo Flex and Echo Input aspire to put Alexa in every corner of your home, Echo Auto is designed for outdoors – for your car, to be more precise. re are two big differences though. 

Echo Auto is designed for your car

Echo Auto does t have a speaker out, which means you’ll be using your car’s stereo system for audio playback. You’re free to use both a 3.5mm aux cable and Bluetooth for connectivity. Secondly, Echo Audio isn’t necessarily a cord-cutter like Echo Flex and Echo Input Portable. You’ll need to hook it up to your car's 12V charging socket or USB port for power.   

“Customers in India tell us y want to take Alexa with m everywhere y go, and we’re delighted to offer m an easy way to d Alexa to car y alrey own,” Parag Gupta, He of Amazon Devices India said in a statement. “Enjoy -free music with breaks or RJ talks, listen to that unfinished audiobook on--go, or make calls without distraction of looking at your smartphone by using simple voice commands. We cant wait to see how customers in India take Alexa on ro.”   

Amazon has you covered when it comes to invoking Alexa inside your car, and I am hopeful, it will likely have your back on busy ros of National Capital, Bombay and Bangalore. Echo Auto’s eight-microphone array designed for in-car acoustics and speech recognition techlogy, ensures “Alexa can hear you over music, A/C, and ro ise,” according to Amazon, but more on that after I've tried it out in person.    

Echo Auto is w available for pre-order and will be available for buying from January 15 at a price of Rs 4,999. 

Amazon is really ramping up its efforts in India of late. company has launched a slew of Echo smart speakers here recently, including flagship Echo Studio.
