VOICE Summit 2019 | VED Talks | Rashmi Rao | July 25
summary
History shows Becker/Harman built successive car audio leaps from 1949 radios to 1997 nav+CD and 2005 IBM/Honda speech, and claims automotive was the first industry to ship voice. Describes a working intelligent reasoning assistant demoed in a Maserati demo at CES 2018 that mediates multiple assistants, uses gaze-enabled voice recognition plus a physical selector and optional wake words, and ships as embedded plus cloud; argues the surprising gap is lack of choice, connectivity andOEM‑VPA collaboration needed to make it actually work in cars.
