Because one cannot live without her

In the News:

Because one cannot live without her

I can see this going horribly, horribly wrong: "I was riding along and Alexa sent me in the wrong direction, straight under the wheels of a double-decker bus. I nearly died! I'd cursed her earlier on, and I think she was taking revenge. She's a maniac. She hates me and wants me dead. Would it be some human operator in Dacca or Manilla that took over and was attempting murder? I am confused and scared. I live in fear of Alexa. I know she is watching me and listening to me all the time. I don't know what to do."

At CES [the international tech trade show] this week in Las Vegas, UK bike retailer Halfords announced mid-year availability for the world's first e-bike – the Cybic E-Legend – that has Amazon's Alexa cooked in, meaning that riders will be able to ask the cloud-based voice assistant for directions and more.
