> find restaurants near me
How does that help me at home? I don't dispute the value of voice recognition on a phone. But we're talking about smart speakers here, in your home, always on.
(BTW, on a phone I can set up common queries like "find restaurants near me" as shortcuts and access them with a single touch.)
> gps represents a bigger value add relative to the trade-off
Yep. Also, I can easily turn my GPS off, restrict apps from accessing it, etc. Home smart speakers are necessarily always on.
