Cerence to partner with VW on ‘automotive-grade ChatGPT integration’

Cerence (CRNC) and Volkswagen (VWAGY) announced that they are partnering to deliver “a uniquely intelligent, automotive-grade ChatGPT integration to Volkswagen drivers.” The companie said: “Volkswagen will leverage Cerence’s new, generative AI-powered Cerence Chat Pro to enable drivers and passengers to engage the in-car assistant in fun and conversational chit-chat, leveraging a multitude of sources, including ChatGPT, to provide accurate and relevant responses to nearly every query imaginable… Looking toward the future, Volkswagen and Cerence will explore collaboration to design a new, large language model-based user experience as the basis of Volkswagen’s next-generation in-car assistant. This unique user experience will combine voice and touch, allowing users to perform tasks across different applications in a single conversational thread for a safer and more joyful driving experience. The system will be built on Cerence’s first-of-its-kind, automotive-grade LLM fine-tuned with the company’s extensive automotive dataset.”
