[{"type":"text","content":"New offering, including voice-powered smart car manual, satisfies consumer desire for better understanding of their cars and creates a deeper, long-term connection between drivers and their vehicles\nLAS VEGAS (CES 2020) and BURLINGTON, Mass., Jan. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cerence Inc. (NASDAQ: CRNC), AI for a world in motion, today announced Cerence Car Life, a suite of AI-powered products that will enable drivers to better interact with and manage their cars through the entire ownership life cycle. These new software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings enhance the car ownership experience from purchasing and learning about the car to using an AI-powered smart car manual and setting service appointments via Dealer Management System (DMS) integration – all by using voice and leveraging a car’s infotainment touchscreen.\n As cars have become more complex, it has become increasingly difficult for drivers to navigate the many features, notifications, warning lights, and buttons within the vehicle.

This product suite will be available within the Cerence Drive portfolio and can integrate and operate with other global voice assistants, including Google, Amazon, Baidu, Alibaba, Yandex and others. “At Cerence, just like our global customers, we want people to fall in love with their cars,” said Stefan Ortmanns, EVP & General Manager, Core Automotive, Cerence. “As with any long-term relationship, this begins with a deep understanding and appreciation for what’s possible in a car, from the first time someone gets behind the wheel and throughout the life of the vehicle.

This will, in turn, benefit OEMs by transforming customers into clients, delivering knowledge and insight that enables them to better support their drivers and establish brand loyalty.” This innovative and intelligent SaaS ...
