Cerence, Skoda elevate in-vehicle experience with Cerence Chat Pro

Cerence (CRNC) announced it will provide generative AI features for Skoda, a Volkswagen Group (VWAGY) brand. Skoda will launch a new in-car assistant experience leveraging Cerence Chat Pro, providing a seamless and intelligent companion for their everyday journeys. The integration of Cerence Chat Pro into Skoda’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. “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 Skoda so their drivers can be amongst the first in the world to benefit from the sophisticated, connected mobility experience of Cerence Chat Pro.”
