Cerence Powers Conversational AI in Audi e-tron GT and Audi Q4 e-tron
September 20 2021 - 8:00AM
Cerence Inc. (NASDAQ: CRNC), AI for a world in motion, today
announced its continued work with Audi to power the in-car
assistant platform for the new Audi e-tron GT and the
much-anticipated Audi Q4 e-tron compact electric SUV, providing
voice-powered access to key features and functions like navigation,
media, air conditioning and heating, phone calling and text
messaging, and more. Audi’s ongoing partnership with Cerence for
intuitive, natural interaction in the e-tron GT and Q4 e-tron is
indicative of the rising importance of the in-car experience in the
next generation of innovative electric vehicles.
Activated with a simple “Hey, Audi,” Audi’s voice dialog system
currently deployed across the automaker’s lineup, leverages speech
recognition, natural language understanding (NLU), text-to-speech
(TTS), and speech signal enhancement from Cerence for a
conversational, intuitive in-car experience. Part of a multi-level
digital operating and display platform, Audi’s in-car assistant
understands a variety of queries and commands spoken in everyday
speech, including those relevant for electric vehicles such as,
“Where is the nearest charging station?” Further enhancing the
human-like interaction, the assistant can even collaborate with the
driver, asking questions, allowing for corrections, and offering
multiple responses to queries. A hybrid system with both
cloud-based and embedded elements means drivers are never left
without key capabilities, even in areas of low or no
connectivity.
“It’s exciting to see design, performance and technology come
together to redefine the electric mobility experience in Audi’s new
models,” said Sanjay Dhawan, CEO, Cerence. “We are proud to
continue our work with Audi and support their commitment to
innovation as they create the next generation of uniquely Audi
experiences for their drivers.”
The Audi e-tron GT and the Audi Q4 e-tron are available for
configuration. For more information, visit www.audi.com.
