Suzuki Motor Corporation and Cerence AI are collaborating to build an in-car assistant for the automaker's first battery electric vehicle (BEV) model, the e VITARA. The new user experience will be available worldwide. Suzuki is the latest Japanese OEM to partner with Cerence AI, adding to the company's in-country footprint.
With Cerence Assistant, the Suzuki e VITARA experience will include a bespoke, in-car assistant tailored to the e VITARA brand. Built on Cerence's conversational AI technology, the assistant will feature embedded navigation and leverage natural language understanding to seamlessly handle free-form conversations. Users can control key vehicle functions like air conditioning and heat through voice interactions, creating a more natural and enjoyable in-cabin experience.
