Cerence Inc. (NASDAQ: CRNC), AI for a world in motion, today
announced that SAIC Mobility Robotaxi, part of leading Chinese
automaker SAIC Motor, has selected Cerence to provide mobility
assistant technology for its L4 self-driving robotaxi platform, the
first of its kind in China. Leveraging the Cerence Mobility
Platform, SAIC Mobility Robotaxi will enable more intelligent and
humanized interaction between its robotaxis and their passengers,
making every journey safer and more enjoyable.
The Cerence Mobility Platform is the world’s leading
OS-agnostic, hybrid embedded/cloud, conversational AI platform to
accelerate innovation for automakers and mobility OEMs. A turnkey
solution, it delivers a humanized, personalized experience with a
multi-modal approach inclusive of voice, gesture, and gaze that
enables seamless connection to users’ digital worlds, both inside
and outside the car. In addition to the Cerence Mobility Platform,
SAIC Mobility Robotaxi will also leverage Cerence’s cutting-edge
Speech Signal Enhancement, a suite of AI-based sound processing
technologies that remove noise from microphone inputs. Summoned by
a simple “Xiao Ke” (AI assistant) SAIC Mobility Robotaxi’s in-car
assistant can meet a varied set of complex user needs, including
enabling the passenger to control the air-conditioning, adjust the
windows, and more, as well as enjoy in-car entertainment like music
easily from the backseat.
“As the use of robotaxis grows throughout China, a natural
interaction between vehicles and passengers will be a critical
piece of building consumer trust and comfort with this new mode of
transportation and the mobility experience overall,” said SAIC
Mobility Robotaxi. “The Cerence Mobility Platform integrates
industry-leading conversational AI technology into the robotaxi
experience to create a safe, productive, enjoyable journey for all
riders.”
Officially launched in Shanghai in December 2021, SAIC Mobility
Robotaxi brings together key resources from SAIC Motor Passenger
Vehicle Company, SAIC Motor AI Lab, autonomous driving technology
company Momenta, and SAIC’s ride-hailing service platform SAIC
Mobility to create a continuously evolving, data-driven ecosystem
that brings L4 self-driving technology to urban mobility
scenarios.
“SAIC Mobility Robotaxi is a global leader driving incredible
innovation in the world of autonomous vehicles,” said Stefan
Ortmanns, CEO, Cerence. “With fast-moving innovation comes the need
for easy-to-deploy, high-quality technology from trusted partners.
