This $49 Dashbot robot is like Amazon Alexa for your car

Now that we've welcomed Amazon Echo's Alexa and Google's Assistant into our homes, the next frontier for AI-powered personal assistants is the car. Next Thing Co. (NTC) has launched the world's first AI-powered hands-free car kit, the Dashbot. This $49 (£39) device can play music, get directions and send messages in a car, and it's all voice-powered. Demand for the device is taking off fast. NTC launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the Dashbot, which has raised $61,000 of its $100,000 goal in little over 24 hours.
