Can't speak for anyone else, but I'll probably keep not using it.

(That's unfair - I have used it a few times to confirm that the lights were off and doors at home were locked after leaving - but Siri could've done that, too)

Hey Ford, Hey Google, Hey Siri, Hey Alexa.

We've got a designer crime
We've got Mercedes
We've got Porsche

Yeah...
We've got a choice" - It's a Miracle, Roger Waters

Then it won’t be in our cars anymore? Just spitballing.
I was just wondering, is Ford using it as a selling point and, if so, will that cause any problems in a sue happy society?

We do use Alexa in our house, it's nice for music, but honestly, I have no idea where that money has gone (I realize Alexa is only a portion of the $10b). It has gotten objectively worse every year, constantly picking the wrong device to respond to commands, playing the wrong music, or just doing something completely random. Glad I only picked up a couple devices on sale over the years, not heavily invested in it.

But in our cars, I doubt many will notice, I killed it as soon as it appeared.
