Hey Google!

Google Assistant probably isn’t going to integrate with Space Mountain anytime soon, but it is coming toGoogle Maps. The company announced at CES that users will be able to ask Google for directions while driving, completely hands-free. Drivers will also be able to ask Google to find a location, such as a gas station, and the assistant will add a stop on your route.

After Google Assistant helps your arrive at your destination, it will also become your interpreter thanks to its new “Interpreter Mode”on Google Home Hub. The feature turns Home Hub into a real-time translator. Your conversations show up on the screen, and both parties can view translations into one of 27 different languages.

Words, pictures, and video don’t seem to do LG’s “Massive Curve of Nature” display justice. It’s an experience. Made up of more than 250 curved LG OLED TVs, LG’s enormous curvy waterfall of a display is breathtaking. Sure, consumers won’t be able to purchase this giant screen, but we’re still glad LG decided to show it off.

Alexa, take the wheel

Google isn’t the only company with a voice assistant. Amazon’s Alexa is ready to go for a ride, too.

The Echo Autois ready to launch later this year. In fact, a small group of lucky users have already received the device. The Echo Auto connects to your smartphone and brings Alexa to your vehicle for only $49.99. Users can control Amazon Music, Google Maps, and even their smart appliances at home from their car.

With all the autonomous vehiclesat this year’s CES, perhaps Alexa and Google Assistant will bring some personality to these inanimate objects next year.
