For example Alexa is being built into Ford cars, multiple companies TV's, new speakers from Lenovo, Alexa for kids from Mattel, even fridges from LG!

Plus loads of devices are gaining the ability to be controlled by Alexa, security alarm systems from ADT, routers, you can even turn on your cars engine! (Ford and Hyundai).
