"TomTom has announced that, together with Microsoft, it is bringing the benefits of generative artificial intelligence (#AI) to the global automotive industry. Using Microsoft’s advancements in AI, TomTom has developed a fully integrated, AI-powered conversational automotive assistant that enables more sophisticated voice interaction with infotainment, location search and vehicle command systems. Drivers can converse naturally with their vehicle and ask the AI-powered assistant to navigate to a certain location, find specific stops along their route, and vocally control onboard systems to, for instance, turn up the temperature, open windows, or change radio stations."
"TomTom started working with Microsoft in 2016, with TomTom powering Azure Maps location services and the companies later expanding their partnership to mapping data and services for Microsoft’s first-party maps. As a natural evolution of their relationship, the companies are now collaborating on automotive solutions, driving innovation for generative AI-powered automotive solutions and developing an in-vehicle digital cockpit and infotainment solution with cloud analytics."
