i would be remiss to talk about alexa auto. it's a new product that brings alexa into your car.: we have to talk about the microwave, the most unexpected product you unveiled today. how does it work? why do you think this is a good opportunity for amazon? david: it was about building a reference design to show you can connect anything to the internet and make it smarter. i mentioned earlier today that the interface on your microwave has been stuck in the late 70's for a long time. we think with alexa, we can make it more convenient and super easy to cook. we have -- replenishment services. it the microwave will automatically reorder new popcorn. emily: there are so mean products, are you concerned that customers will get confused or overwhelmed? david: i don't think so. one thing we have strived for its giving customers a lot of choice. when we offer more selection customers are good about , identifying what they want to buy and what they want to use. on top of that, the review system at amazon lets customers tell people what they may like about them. it helps people choose. we

we want customers to have alexa everywhere.ow the level of sound that customers are expecting will continue to improve over time. we need to improve on behalf of customers. i know they will. emily: you also played up your partnership with spotify. you have your own music service. do you worry about cannibalizing your own product line? david: we don't think about it that way. what we think about is we want to give choice to customers. the nice thing about alexa is the service is open to developers of all types. spotify has been a great partner of ours. there are millions of spotify customers on alexa. it is still growing. we think that's great if customers want to go that way. we are proud of amazon music, but there's not going to be just one winner in music. that there will be one music service that wins it all will be unlikely. i'm sure spotify and amazon music will be on that. emily: when it comes to the smart speaker business, amazon has first mover advantage. but google home is rapidly encroaching on your territory. do you

in a sense, alexa is a cobot. if you think about -- iowa lex a or -- alexa or siri can do things, but it needs you too. there's a collaboration. that class of robots is most interesting. the surgical robot which is the most successful ever invented, it is used typically for prostate surgery and liver surgeries, these non-invasive sort of micro intrusions, it doesn't operate by itself. a surgeon has his hands in a manipulator, looks through a screen or goggles and sees what's going on up close. but the precision that's affected by the robot is an amplification of the human. so it doesn't replace them. and there's no clear path, by the way, to easily replace the human. it's a bit like if i, the idea of artificial intelligence or robots replacing people is a bit like calling a car an artificial horse or an airplane an artificial burden. obviously, both serve a similar function, but they powerfully amplify that function in ways that a horse doesn't by itself. robots are the same thing. they're not going to replace peo
