Millions of people actually use it? Or keep it as a paperweight who's sole job is to "Alexa turn off the lights" once a week?
If it's the latter then you probably don't need to keep thousands of highly paid engineers since that's what Alexa could also do 10 years ago and what vehicle voice commands could do 15 years ago without internet connection and expensive data centers. Drops mic

They probably don’t need all those engineers, but there’s a long-tail of features people use beyond weekly lights. Also, Alexa works better than any car control ever has, and at a fraction of the price. You obviously need internet connectivity for the majority of features people care about. Like controlling devices over the network, getting weather, streaming music, etc
