In-vehicle voice assistants are much better than they used to be, and much more prevalent—a significant shift in how we interact with our cars. Voice control can boost safety by helping drivers focus more on the road, and less on fiddling with touchscreen menus and sub-menus. Drivers can manage navigation, entertainment, and climate control without taking their hands off the wheel. And more, advanced voice assistants can recognize individual voices and preferences, providing more tailored driving experience.
That’s what we look at in this week’s in-depth. Voice assistants are performing even better in a more mastered interior sound environment, especially in EVs. This week’s news includes silk materials with sound suppressing capabilities, and super-slim speakers creating new car audio system solutions.
The next DVN Interior Workshop will be on 8-9 April in Köln, Germany. You’ll find an update of the docket in today’s newsletter as well as on the website. Watch for more information as we finalize and fine-tune the lecture lineup and exhibitions. Registration is open, so come sign up!
