SoundHound AI, Inc., a global leader in voice artificial intelligence, announced that its voice assistant with integrated ChatGPT will be the first to go into full production with an international automaker. SoundHound Chat AI for Automotive was the first generative AI-enabled in-vehicle voice assistant on the market in April 2023, and will be available in Stellantis DS Automobiles starting next month, less than a year later.
Following a successful pilot with DS vehicles in the UK, Spain, France, Germany, and Italy, the automaker will now make its SoundHound Chat AI-powered assistant, Iris, available in thirteen languages across eighteen countries. The most sophisticated assistant available today, Iris can respond to a vast range of questions from hundreds of real-time domains, as well as large language models like ChatGPT.
This new technology ultimately allows drivers and passengers to use hands-free voice control to unlock a vast range of information and updates – whether that’s for planning a trip, opening the sunroof, asking for the sports scores, making a call, or accessing parking information from their destination.

The SoundHound system also uses a proprietary approach to massively reduce the risk of “AI hallucinations” misleading and unpredictable responses often associated with some large language models (LLMs).

We believe the potential use cases are endless.”
