Santiago Chamorro, GM’s vice president for Global Connected Services, said customers ultimately will be able to choose which voice concierge service to use - the car’s standard voice controls, Alexa, Google or an app embedded in a smartphone.
“We believe in a future where the customer has options,” said Amazon’s Ned Curic, vice president of Alexa Auto at Amazon. Owners of GM vehicles will be able to download Alexa software to their vehicles during the first half of 2020, GM said.“Our solution for China is particular to China,” Chamorro said. “Stay tuned.
