Alexa Can Do Many Things But Won’t Call 911

There are many smart devices out there that can do a lot of basic things like tell you the weather, add to your grocery list, or play music on command. But many of these "smart" devices aren't  smart enough to call 911. There are multiple reasons why: they don't give accurate location information because they don't provide real-time GPS, they can only be used to make outgoing calls, etc. There is also a 911 surcharge included in phone plans to enable them to call emergency services.
