TomTom just announced a \u201cfully integrated, AI-powered conversational automotive assistant\u201d which should start popping up in dashboard infotainment platforms in the near-ish future. The company has issued some bold claims for the AI, saying it\u2019ll offer \u201cmore sophisticated voice interaction\u201d and allow users to converse naturally to navigate, find stops along a route, control onboard systems, open windows and just about anything else you find yourself doing while driving.<\/p>\n
The company, best known for GPS platforms, partnered up with Microsoft to develop this AI assistant. The technology leverages OpenAI\u2019s large language models, in addition to Microsoft products like Azure Cosmos DB and Azure Cognitive Services. Cosmos DB is a multi-model database and Cognitive Services is a set of APIs for use in AI applications, so this should be a capable assistant that draws from the latest advancements.<\/p>\n
TomTom promises that the voice assistant will integrate into a variety of interfaces offered by major automobile manufacturers, stating that the auto company will retain ownership of its branding. So this could start showing up in cars from a wide variety of makers. The company hasn\u2019t announced any definitive partnerships with known vehicle manufacturers, but the technology will be integrated into TomTom\u2019s proprietary Digital Cockpit,<\/a> an open and modular in-vehicle infotainment platform.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the first time a company has tried to stuff an LLM inside of a car. Back in June, Mercedes announced a three-month beta program<\/a> that incorporated ChatGPT models into select vehicles. This tool also leveraged Microsoft\u2019s Azure OpenAI service<\/a>. TomTom is showing off the AI at CES in January, so we\u2019ll know more about how it actually works at that point.<\/p>\n We’re reporting live from CES 2024 in Las Vegas from January 6-12.
