As I was driving down Las Vegas Boulevard last night I asked Alexa to play Elvis Presley and seconds later the King was crooning in my car, just as he did thousands of times on that very same strip during his lifetime. I then asked to hear KCBS News from San Francisco and that local news station started playing through my car speakers. Seconds later I changed the channel to MSNBC (audio only) from TuneIn and then, using my voice, I asked Alexa for driving directions to my hotel. Finally, I called my wife — again using my voice — by simply saying “Alexa, call home.”
