Alexa Driving Mode
Amazon is introducing an automatic mode for its Alexa app to make it easier to use your phone hands-free while driving. The app is obviously designed to be used when the phone is connected.
The feature is designed for Auto Echo so you can see information at a glance if you need to look at your screen. Auto mode will roll out to Android and iOS in the coming weeks.
Automatic mode features easy-to-read images, large touch buttons (so you don't have to look at the screen too closely), plus shortcuts for your most common interactions with Alexa used in the vehicle. So if you always ask Alexa for the same radio station, it will be there.
Auto mode has four screens: home, navigation, communication and playback. A menu bar allows you to easily switch between different modes. As Alexa responds to you, the app displays a simple list of the most relevant information.
The home screen provides the aforementioned one-touch access for frequent actions. In addition to media, that could be making a call or navigating to a normal location. The Browse screen is deeper and shows all your usual locations. The Communicate screen allows you to make a call, sign in on other devices Echo or make an announcement on all your Alexa devices. Finally, the Play screen shows the most recent media plus play and pause controls.
