The Echo Auto device packs eight microphones into its small form factor to help with the noise canceling that is so necessary inside a car. The device is also location aware and can use location-based triggers for Alexa Routines. As an example, Alexa can turn your home's smart lights on and unlock your smart door locks when you pull into your driveway.

It will also interface with Waze and Apple Maps to send directions to your phone. So, if you ask Alexa to find the nearest Starbucks, it will direct you to it and tell you how late it's open. During the presentation, Dave Limp, head of Alexa for Amazon, placed a call with the device, which is particularly exciting for owners of vehicles without hands-free calling capability. Alexa On The Go will also interface with Apple Maps and Waze.
