Hey Brainers!
So I've posted recently about Cerence's voice assistant in relation to BrainChip and connected dots to Mercedes (obviously), Volvo, BMW, Audi and Volkswagen. And today I believe we can also add another name to the list - Bosch.
The first article dated 9th December 2021 outlines how Bosch's infotainment unit was "developed in partnership with several technology companies and is aimed at providing such infotainment functions as in-car communication, in-car payment, video streaming and
voice assistants". In addition it describes how the computer is "powered by Qualcomm Technologies’ third-generation Snapdragon microprocessor and utilizes the QNX Neutrino Realtime Operating System.
Options include a virtual voice assistant through Amazon Alexa and Cerence; in-vehicle streaming via Access Twine4Car; and embedded and cloud-based navigation through TomTom.
The second link is to Bosch's website which describes how the voice control system works:
- "the on-board infotainment system handles all the speech processing itself"
- "ensures you can always reliably use your voice to control the system, even in tunnels or in areas with inadequate cellular coverage".
- "Modern in-car voice control systems have taken a tremendous technological step forward in recent years thanks to the integration of artificial intelligence, natural language understanding (NLU), and cognitive computing."
- "Speech recognition works without a mobile data connection".
Bosch's domain controller is aimed at infotainment systems and replaces multiple electronic control units with a single computer.
