The Ford + Alexa technology makes it easy to stay connected and offers drivers similar conveniences for their car that Amazon Echo users have come to expect. While on the go, you can ask Alexa for directions or recommendations based on your actual location via GPS, pick up where you left off listening to your audiobook, and even utilize your Alexa smart home device to control lighting, security systems, and more from the comfort of your vehicle. In this project, I tested the integration of the Amazon Alexa AI into the infotainment system of Ford's newest vehicles. This would allow users to harness the power of Alexa on the go while they drive. I ensured the quality of this integration and it was featured in the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
