After officially beginning to ship in December, Amazon is now discounting its all-new Echo Auto for only the second time. The new second-generation model now sells for $39.99 shipped, down from its usual $55 going rate. Amounting to $15 in savings, this beats our previous mention from the start of the year by an extra $5 and delivers a new all-time low. Those same savings also carry over to the model with the bundled air vent mount, which drops down to $47.98 from its usual $63 going rate.
Amazon just refreshed its on-the-road Alexa device with an updated form-factor and all of the expected hands-free access to its voice assistant. Packed into the slim design is a dashboard companion that tethers to your smartphone’s cellular connection in order to do everything that your smart speakers at home can. On top of playing your favorite music, controlling smart home devices as you pull into the drive way, and answering whatever questions could pop into your head while driving, the Echo Auto has a new roadside assistance feature that lets you connect with local automotive services if ever in a pinch. We break down what to expect from the experience in our launch coverage, too. Head below for more.
