Alexa device "Muse" for in-vehicle is crowdfunding

Currently, the in-vehicle Alexa device "Muse" is crowdfunding at Indiegogo. The other day, I put Amazon's "Echo Dot" in the car and went for a drive. How comfortable is it in a Ferrari or convertible? I reported on the in-vehicle Echo in, but I was able to experience the gratitude of hands-free operation even if it was not a dedicated product. This time, I would like to find out what is superior about Muse because it is for in-vehicle use only.

Muse is a device that connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth so that Alexa services can be used while driving. It is said that it was designed as a device that allows hands-free calling for safety while driving.

It is said that the main body will be equipped with a best-in-class noise canceling microphone. In addition, the main body panel has a simple structure with only operation keys and a microphone on / off button. There is also an audio output, and the main unit is designed to be compact, assuming that it will be used by connecting to in-vehicle audio.

It doesn't have a built-in battery, but it connects to a car's cigar socket to supply power, which seems to be an in-vehicle product. Also, I am grateful that it has dual USB so that smartphones can also be charged. This dual USB cigar socket charger, mount kit, and cable are included in the main unit kit. If you buy a kit, you don't need anything other than a smartphone and a car.

The mount kit is a dedicated magnetic mount for vehicles that can be mounted on the dashboard, center console, or anywhere you like in less than three minutes. The price of this Muse is $ 40 to $ 50 per unit. The project has already achieved 320% of $ 48,000 against the $ 15,000 target with 22 days left. It is not specified that it will be available in Japanese or shipped to Japan, but I wonder if it will be released in Japan along with the Japanese version of Alexa.
