Voice Assistant-Integrated Cars

Alexa Voice Controls Will Come to Lamborghini and Rivian Cars

— January 10, 2020 — Autos
Lamborghini and Rivian vehicles are scheduled to receive Alexa Voice controls before the end of 2020. The integrated voice controls could streamline the in-car experience, as well as provide hands-free options for drivers. Rivian also stated a few of the Alexa features will be available even if the car is off.

Previously Amazon invested in Rivian, which means that adding Alexa capabilities in Rivain cars could be in Amazon's financial interests.

The new integrated controls will give Lamborghini and Rivian owners the ability to use voice controls for many different tasks, including the ability to set up navigation systems, make calls, adjust air the air conditioning, as well as open or close windows. Additionally, Alexa voice controls could also give users the ability to handle gas payments.
