The Next Frontier for Voice Assistants
by Peggy Smedley
Vehicles are the next frontier for voice assistants. Voice-recognition technology in vehicles isn’t new. In fact, as far back as 2004, companies like IBM and Honda were developing in-vehicle voice-recognition solutions for navigation. The Honda/IBM tech came standard on certain 2005 Honda and Acura models in the U.S. and Canada. In 2020, automakers are many generations into their automotive AI (artificial intelligence) tech, and voice assistants like Apple’s Siri, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant are being used to complete basic tasks meant to make a drive more pleasant and convenient without taking the driver’s attention off the road. One of the latest examples is Fiat Chrysler’s Uconnect 5 announcement, which connects to Alexa’s “Home to Car” functionality and is interoperable with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
