Cerence Inc. (NASDAQ: CRNC), AI for a world in motion, today
announced that SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile (SGMW) has selected
Cerence and PATEO, a leading connected car company in Asia, to

text-to-speech, to deliver a highly intelligent, lightning-fast,
and interactive assistant experience.
“Our well-recognized Wuling Indonesian Command has set the
standard in Indonesia for natural, human-like interaction in the
car. This technology has received several appreciations in the
Indonesian automotive industry and continues to gain popularity in
the country,” said Yin Yi, Brand & Marketing Director, Wuling
Motors. “We are excited to work with Cerence again, as well as
PATEO, to leverage their extensive expertise and proven success in
building our embedded voice assistant in this new,
first-of-its-kind connected platform.”
“It is our collective mission to drive usage of and affinity for
voice assistants in the car in Indonesia – one of the fastest
growing automotive markets in the world,” said Charles Kuai, SVP
& GM, Mobility and IoT, Cerence. “With this new cloud
architecture for SAIC-GM-Wuling’s automotive assistants in the
region, we’ve created an incredible user experience that will make
interaction with the car more natural, therefore enhancing drivers’
enjoyment of their time on the road.”

than 20 joint projects over the last six years, and we are proud to
continue our work together on our first foreign language project
with SAIC-GM-Wuling,” said Yilun Ying, PATEO. “With the support of
Cerence and PATEO, SAIC-GM-Wuling is at the forefront of a new
