 Hey guys, it's Neil with The Verge. I'm here with Amazon's Echo, which keeps getting smarter and smarter. So at CES, we saw it add a bunch of home automation capabilities. Earlier in the week, it added Domino's. Yesterday it added Spotify. And today, it's adding what I think is my favorite feature. You can now ask it for an Uber. So Alexa, ask Uber for a ride. There is an Uber that's about three minutes away. Would you like me to order it? No thanks. Okay, goodbye. Yeah. So that was super simple, right? All you gotta do is open up the Alexa app on your phone, go into the skills section, add the Uber skill, link it to your account, and make sure you set your address, and then Alexa can immediately get you a ride. So now, we can ask it for a ride. I'll say yes this time. And then we can also ask where it is, how long it's going to take to get here, and cancel again if we want to. So Alexa, ask Uber for a ride. There is an Uber that's about two minutes away. Would you like me to order it? Yes please. Requesting your ride. This may take a few seconds. Oh, there we go. Edwin is now arriving in a Honda Accord. So I can just open up the Uber app here. There you go. So you can see right here on my phone, Edwin's on the way. And then I can say things like, Alexa. Ask Uber how far away my ride is. Your ride request was accepted. Your driver should be there in about one minute. Your Uber app has the details. Great. And then obviously, I can do the thing that no driver wants you to do, but we're going to do it anyway. Alexa, open Uber and cancel. I've canceled your ride. And there we go. So that is Uber on the Amazon Echo. It's pretty cool. You can also ask for things like an UberX, an Uber SUV. Basically any product Uber sells, you can ask for it directly from the Echo just using your voice. You don't even have to use a button anymore.<|ne|>.
