TomTom joins forces with Microsoft to bring Generative AI into the vehicle
19 Décembre 2023 - 7:30AM
TomTom (TOM2), the location technology specialist, today announced
that, together with Microsoft, it is bringing the benefits of
generative artificial intelligence (AI) to the global automotive
industry.
Leveraging 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. All with a single interaction.
The solution integrates Microsoft Azure OpenAI
Service to take advantage of large language models in addition to
Azure Kubernetes Services, Azure Cosmos DB, and Azure Cognitive
Services. The voice assistant can be integrated into other
automotive infotainment systems, enabling automotive customers to
accelerate time-to-market on a customizable interface while
retaining ownership of their branding and the driver experience.
The solution is also built into TomTom’s Digital Cockpit, an open,
modular in-vehicle infotainment platform.
“Together with Microsoft, our shared vision is
to drive innovation with generative AI and provide our customers
with even better solutions,” says Mike Schoofs, Chief Revenue
Officer, TomTom. “Leveraging our navigation and technology
expertise, we’re creating a groundbreaking new way for people to
interact with their vehicles. With both companies integrating what
they do best into one solution, we’re transforming the in-vehicle
experience, enabling drivers to ask their car for anything and
trust it will deliver."
“With this next generation of AI, we have a
unique opportunity to accelerate innovation across the entire
automotive sector,” said Dominik Wee, Corporate Vice President for
Manufacturing and Mobility, Microsoft. “We’re building on our
longstanding collaboration with TomTom and bringing together AI
advances across the Microsoft Cloud with TomTom's automotive
expertise to provide drivers and carmakers with new AI-powered
tools. This integration will enable OEMs to offer highly
differentiated and unique cockpit experiences, while preserving
their unique brand identity.”
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.
