With Google seeking to have their Google Assistant in as many devices as possible, we now have cigarette lighter ports powered by Google’s AI. We have not one but 2 devices to go in your car. One by Anker and the other by JBL. More specifically, the Anker Roav Bolt & the JBL Link Drive.
By plugging this into your car, you’ll give a car w/o Android Auto the power of Assistant. This will allow you to ask for directions, weather, nearest gas station, play your favorite podcast, and much , much more. It has noise-canceling mic on board as well as 2 fast-charging USB ports. Both devices work the same way. You plug the device into your cigarette lighter, pair it w/ your phone or connect via Aux and you can yell out ‘Hey Google’ to ask or command away.
You can reserve the Roav Bolt right now for $50 as the JBL Link Drive is set to arrive sometime later in the Spring for $60.
