For those that are more fashion-forward, Amazon has also partnered with Carrera Eyewear to create a new line of smart eyewear that combines the smarts of Alexa with top fashion frame styles. The collection includes two new frame designs—Carrera Cruiser and Carrera Sprinter—which blend the iconic Carrera style with the power of Alexa. Carrera Smart Glasses allow you to stay connected and get help with daily tasks with technology that blends seamlessly into your lifestyle when not in use.

As part of its commitment to customer privacy, Amazon states that Echo devices include multiple layers of privacy controls. Echo devices have built-in camera shutters, a microphone on/off button, and the microphones on Echo Frames and Carrera Smart Glasses can be muted with the double-press of a button. Users have full control over their voice recordings and can view, hear, or delete them at any time.
