Cerence and Škoda Elevate the In-Vehicle Experience with Cerence Chat Pro
January 16 2024 - 8:00AM
Cerence Inc. (NASDAQ: CRNC), AI for a world in motion, today
announced it will provide generative AI features for Škoda, a
Volkswagen Group brand. Škoda will launch a new in-car assistant
experience leveraging Cerence Chat Pro, providing a seamless and
intelligent companion for their everyday journeys.
Cerence Chat Pro is the fastest and easiest way for automakers
to integrate ChatGPT into their in-car assistant platforms with
full flexibility, extensive customization, and low integration
effort, while ensuring protection for personal information and
vehicle data. Cerence Chat Pro uses Cerence’s large language model
(LLM) to handle more than 10,000 open-ended questions and answers,
transforming the in-car assistant into a truly conversational
companion. It is fully customizable for automakers via a self-serve
web portal, enabling brands like Škoda to modify questions and
responses to best align the user experience with their brand and
driver needs, and features a protection layer to filter sensitive
topics.
The integration of Cerence Chat Pro into Škoda’s voice
assistant, Laura, will empower drivers and passengers to engage in
general knowledge chit-chat beyond Laura’s already existing
voice-control features such as navigation and air conditioning
control – completely hands-free for improved drive safety.
“Enriching Škoda voice assistance with artificial intelligence
makes our cars an even better everyday companion. Drivers and
passengers will have easy, verbal access to worlds of knowledge
while on the road,” says Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Škoda Auto.
“Integrating ChatGPT into our voice assistant, Laura, is just the
latest way that Škoda adapts advanced technology to improve the
driving experience. Everything remains hands-free for the driver,
and data security remains a priority. I am confident that customers
will appreciate this modern new feature.”
“At Cerence, we’re on a mission to redefine the in-vehicle
experience for drivers and passengers by helping automakers
leverage AI to make each journey more intelligent, enjoyable, and
safe,” said Stefan Ortmanns, CEO, Cerence. “We’re excited to
collaborate with Škoda so their drivers can be amongst the first in
the world to benefit from the sophisticated, connected mobility
experience of Cerence Chat Pro.”
The announcement follows a previously announced technology
partnership between Cerence and Škoda Auto parent company,
Volkswagen Group, to upgrade certain models within the VW Group
brands that are based on MEB GP and MQB EVO platforms with Cerence
Chat Pro via cloud updates.
