Car Knowledge

Car Knowledge
 

As cars have become more complex, navigating the many features, notifications, and warning lights in vehicles has become increasingly difficult for drivers. Cerence Car Knowledge provides drivers with the best answers and information—all of which are tailored to each individual car, its configuration, and the continuously learned preferences of the driver—via a companion application, voice output from the automotive assistant, and imagery displayed on the car’s infotainment system.

Consumers have become accustomed to asking their devices questions to get answers to a variety of topics – from weather, stocks and news to sports, entertainment and facts on just about any subject – whether at home or on-the-go. Cerence Browse is an extension for Cerence-powered voice assistants that provides voice-enabled access to general knowledge directly from a car’s infotainment system, creating a natural and convenient experience.

The solution offers a general knowledge domain which allows users to ask general information questions. These are answered by built-in knowledge modules or by looking up information on various knowledge sources on the Internet. Users can ask questions to an automotive assistant and receive a spoken, natural answer that does not require them to take their eyes off the road or switch to another device. The best part: it offers one point of interaction for all uses cases, no matter where the information comes from.

Easily integrated with the broader Cerence portfolio of AI solutions, Cerence Sing also enables drivers and passengers to, for example, hear their performances back over the car’s speakers in real time and test out different effects that give their voices a whole new sound.

Tour Guide Services

Cerence Tour Guide is an application that brings the deep knowledge of a high-quality, professional tour guide directly into the mobility assistant, enriching the driving experience and making travel more interesting and fun.

With a curated ecosystem of travel and tour content, users can plan trips beforehand or explore points of interest (POIs) on the go. Cerence Tour Guide can proactively alert drivers with POIs they may encounter along the route, selecting notable places based on context and learned preferences. Information is delivered via Cerence’s latest text-to-speech technology, bringing the personality and know-how of a human tour guide directly into the in-car experience.

Beyond audio, Cerence Tour Guide integrates directly with the car’s headunit to display relevant information on the screen when safe for drivers. They can even book experiences like restaurants, museums and other attractions directly from the car’s headunit, creating new business opportunities for OEMs.
