To create natural, comfortable interaction between drivers and
the FF 91, FF will leverage the most innovative TTS technology from
Cerence. Cerence TTS brings a human-like quality to the in-car
assistant, creating a truly conversational experience in which the
car listens, understands and responds to drivers using natural
speech. With Cerence TTS, the FF 91’s voice assistant delivers
information and responds to prompts – ranging from news and weather
to point-of-interest details, navigation, parking, and fuel – in an
expressive style that brings a more personal tone to the in-car
experience.
“Voice interaction is central to the in-car experience in the FF
91, as we aim to make interacting with the car and the world
outside as efficient and effective as possible,” said Hong Rao,
vice president IAI, Faraday Future. “By leveraging text-to-speech
and audio processing technologies from Cerence, the leader in voice
technology for the car, we’re maximizing each interaction with
efficiency, comfort, and reliability. We believe the future of
human-vehicle interaction is moving towards a voice-first
experience, and we’re thrilled to have Cerence as part of our
global supplier network to help with our communication enhancing
technology.”
In addition, Cerence SSE will integrate with FF’s voice
recognition and natural language understanding engines with
crystal-clear input from drivers and passengers. Cerence SSE
combines advanced statistical signal processing algorithms with the
latest machine learning technologies to provide superior
performance with moderate CPU consumption. It is a comprehensive,
hardware- and operating system-agnostic suite of sound processing
technologies that significantly improve communication and
recognition in noisy environments like in a moving car. By removing
noise, echo and interference from a driver’s speech, Cerence SSE
enables delivery of higher quality communication with the FF 91’s
in-car assistant, improving driver safety, comfort, and
productivity.
“Faraday Future is a true innovator, and the upcoming
start-of-production of the FF 91 marks a major milestone in the
next generation of electric vehicles,” said Stefan Ortmanns, CEO,
Cerence. “We’re proud to be a part of the FF 91 with Cerence
Text-to-Speech and Speech Signal Enhancement, two solutions that
provide a high level of quality and comfort when communicating with
the car, enabling drivers to maximize their safety and productivity
while on the road.”
The flagship FF 91 was designed in the company’s headquarters in
Los Angeles, engineered in Los Angeles, Silicon Valley, and China,
and is being produced in the Hanford, Calif. manufacturing plant.
The FF 91’s “Global DNA” reflects the talent at FF and across the
globe, with support from top-tier suppliers from countries such as
Italy, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, China, Belgium, Switzerland and
more.
