Did Google Assistant win CES 2018?
from Too Embarrassed to Ask · host Recode
Kara Swisher and Lauren Goode talk with The Verge's Ashley Carman about Lauren and Ashley's week in Las Vegas for CES 2018. Although marred by rain (unusual), flooding (predictable) and a massive power outage (unprecedented), the annual Consumer Electronics Show mostly carried on as normal. One big takeaway: CES 2018 was led by a slew of gadgets angling to compete against Amazon's Alexa. Carman also talks about the continuing prevalence of cars at the tech trade show and a category she's personally interested in: Tech products made by beauty companies like Neutrogena, which make personalized recommendations to users after scanning their hair or skin. Plus: The trio talks about the severe shortage of women among CES's keynote speakers and why its apology for that fact doesn't pass the smell test. Learn more about your ad choices.
