Map Navigation Company TomTom Announce,resembleMicrosoftCollaborated on the development of an in-carAI（AI) Dialog Assistant.
The tool enhances the infotainment, location search, and vehicle command system experience with enhanced voice interactions and comes at the end of a year that has seen a growing number of integrated voice AI applications.
「Drivers can talk naturally to the vehicle, ask the AI-powered assistant to navigate to a specific location, find specific stops on their route, and control the in-vehicle system with their voice, such as turning up the temperature, opening a window, or changing the radio station"TomTom In a local announcement on Tuesday (Dec. 19), it said. "TheEverything can be done with just one interaction."
According to the announcement.The solution integrates with Microsoft Azure OpenAI services to leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) and other Azure applications. tomTom says its assistant can be integrated into other automotive infotainment systemsand built into Digital Cockpit, the company's in-car infotainment platform.
The launch of the new assistant comes at a time whenNearly 40% U.S. Consumers Are Using Voice Technology to Get Directions on the Road, according to the PYMNTS report, Preparing for the Future of Voice Commerce.
Additionally, the study found that 15% of consumers used their vehicle's voice features in the 12 months prior to being surveyed, a percentage that is "expected to grow as companies provide solutions to meet the need for easy-to-use voice interactions in vehicles," the study said.
Aside from cars, this year has seen voice AI become the world'sThe firstThe primary user interface for devices designed for AI is being added to the ordering systems of fast food and fast casual restaurants, and is constantly being improved by tech giants like Google, Meta, OpenAI and Anthropic.
However, "despite the great promise of voice AI as a general-purpose solution, it remains a puzzle to be solved to date."
The report states.This is because the human mind works in the same way asFirstadvanced AI operates differently, and because artificial generalized intelligence (AGI) has yet to become a reality, and modern AI systems perform well when "trained for specific domains, localized datasets, and built on a foundation designed for a specific task".optimal.
This includes tasks such as ordering from a preset menu or taking environmental notes in a clinical healthcare setting.
