I was thinking about this recently when I took an Asus laptop apart. You can get a 720p camera and microphone for $5.00 [1]

It weighs nothing, cost nothing. I just have to figure out how to plug it into a raspberry pi for an augmented car experience. (right not using my bulky laptop)

I've trained a small model with my voice to respond to basic commands. No need to go through a Facebook server or any cloud server for that matter. Tech can be a lot of fun when you get your hands dirty and ignore FAANGs.
