What happens if Alexa goes away?

I don't use Alexa, but know that it's on the MME. Saw this article and was wondering what would happen if Amazon kills it?

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 warehouse of butter
We've got oceans of wine
We've got famine when we need it
We've got a designer crime
We've got Mercedes
We've got Porsche
Ferrari and Rolls Royce
Yeah...
We've got a choice" - It's a Miracle, Roger Waters

Great album (Amused to Death).

I will gain some counter space in the kitchen. Other than that, it won't affect me one little bit.

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.
