The start point for the best source of fleet information |
Cars made by PSA Group - including those from Peugeot, Citroen, DS and Opel-Vauxhall - are set to be equipped with a voice assistant from 2020.
This follows the agreement of a deal with tech company SoundHound. The latter claim its technology is the only software of its kind that can instantly answer multiple questions asked in a sentence.
PSA says the technology will allow drivers to have natural conversations with their vehicle.
It is claimed the in-vehicle assistant will be able to perform, by itself, a variety of tasks: like finding a restaurant that meets several criteria, activating vehicle functions and launching connected services.
PSA says that with a single voice command, drivers will be able to simultaneously regulate temperature, ventilation and the direction of air conditioning.
It says the SoundHound system roll-out will simplify on board life for vehicle users and contribute to safety, and be available within two years.
