Toyota will introduce Amazon Alexa to select 2018 Toyota and Lexus vehicles, allowing customers to interact with Amazon's intelligent cloud based voice service in their car.
Select vehicles with the available Toyota Entune 3.0 App Suite and Lexus Enform App Suite 2.0 will now be able to feature Amazon Alexa interaction, and will include additional models available in 2019, Toyota announced at the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Alexa can help customers connect to more than a thousand third-party smart home products, the automaker added.
With Alexa, customers can ask for directions, control entertainment, get the news, add items to a shopping list, control their smart home while on the road, and more, according to a release.
