Virtual Assistance

The Google Home personal assistant appears to be the latest rival to the Siri voice of iPhone. The "Home" voice seems to be very responsive to travel information but not yet ready to dispense directions. When asked how to get to the New York Public Library, "Home" replied "I don't support directions yet." I guess it would be no use to ask that age old question "How do I get to Carnegie Hall?"
