Volkswagen and Cerence Collaborate to Bring New, Generative AI-Powered Interaction to Drivers
08 Janeiro 2024 - 1:00PM
Cerence Inc. (NASDAQ: CRNC), AI for a world in motion, and
Volkswagen, one of the world’s largest automakers, today announced
that they are partnering to deliver a uniquely intelligent,
automotive-grade ChatGPT integration to Volkswagen drivers.
Volkswagen will leverage Cerence’s new, generative AI-powered
Cerence Chat Pro to enable drivers and passengers to engage the
in-car assistant in fun and conversational chit-chat, leveraging a
multitude of sources, including ChatGPT, to provide accurate and
relevant responses to nearly every query imaginable.
Cerence Chat Pro is the fastest and easiest way for automakers
to integrate ChatGPT into their in-car assistant platforms with
full flexibility, extensive customization, and low integration
effort. Volkswagen will be the first automaker to roll out Cerence
Chat Pro via cloud updates to cars already on the road, delivering
immediate value to drivers as they look to leverage generative AI
for productivity and entertainment while on the go. Built
specifically for the in-car experience, Cerence Chat Pro will go
live in current MEB and MQB evo models from VW Group brands that
use the IDA voice assistant1.
“With software at the core of the Volkswagen of the future, it’s
critical that we quickly deploy meaningful innovation powered by
advancements in AI,” said Thomas Ulbrich, Member of the Board of
Management responsible for New Mobility at Volkswagen. “By
leveraging Cerence Chat Pro, we are able to bring added value and a
fun and engaging experience to our drivers with minimal integration
effort and on a short development and deployment timeline, ensuring
our customers are benefitting from new AI-powered conversational
technology.”
"We’re proud to build on our automotive expertise and our
long-term partnership with Volkswagen to continue to bring new
innovation to customers, even post-vehicle purchase," said Stefan
Ortmanns, CEO, Cerence. “It was impressive to see the agility and
speed of the Volkswagen team as our companies collectively sprung
into action to bring this project to life, marking our shared
commitment to leveraging advancements in AI to enhance the in-car
user experience”
Looking toward the future, Volkswagen and Cerence will explore
collaboration to design a new, large language model (LLM)-based
user experience as the basis of Volkswagen’s next-generation in-car
assistant. This unique user experience will combine voice and
touch, allowing users to perform tasks across different
applications in a single conversational thread for a safer and more
joyful driving experience. The system will be built on Cerence’s
first-of-its-kind, automotive-grade LLM fine-tuned with the
company’s extensive automotive dataset.
