How Dragon Drive Helps the Automotive Industry
Smartphones have AI-driven assistants, but that doesn’t always help drivers. Dragon Drive has a solution for that. This AI platform from Nuance helps drivers organize their lives without needing to take time from it.
What Can It Do?
Dragon Drive has a variety of features that may be appealing to people from all walks of life. From organizing home life and 3rd party functions to using gaze detection to find information, this AI is your co-pilot, secretary, and personal assistant all rolled into one.
Have you ever driven past a billboard and thought to yourself, “I should look that up later”? The problem is that “later” passes and you forget. With Dragon Drive, you can ask for information right when you see it, or ask for a reminder about it later.
In addition, you can also do things like find out how a restaurant is rated by looking at it and asking Dragon Drive. Sure you can also look up online reviews, but who has time for that? Besides, smartphone AIs and online reviews don’t have the natural verbal capabilities of Dragon Drive.
What Makes This Assistant Different?
Dragon Drive is an OEM solution that integrates into your car seamlessly. And the AI is constantly listening and learning driver preferences. The result is a more individual and tailored experience.
Some common uses for voice assistants may include:
- Controlling in-car features like climate, navigation, windows, and entertainment while driving
- Accessing personal info like messages, calendar entries, and contacts
- Checking general info like news, weather, or other inquiries
- Adjusting smart home devices while in the car
- Making purchases
Dragon Drive goes one step further than previous assistants, though. Like a new friend, it learns your likes and preferences and acts accordingly.
For example, if you ask your Dragon Drive assistant to find parking at the location you are driving to, it will do that and more. It can learn where you generally prefer to park.
Additionally, the AI may also be able to tell the differences between price, quality, and proximity for different places. So, if you want to grab a coffee on your way to your location? The assistant may recommend the best one for you, maybe even better than your best friend.
Are you a person that prefers to drive further for cheaper gas? Or do you like to get gas as soon as possible regardless of price? The Dragon Drive assistant learns your preferences and suggests the best trade-off for you.
The personalized driving experience doesn’t stop there. Dragon Drive is capable of reaching out and coordinating with your other AI assistants like Alexa and Siri. It’s like having a cadre of assistants taking care of you.
Additional Features
Dragon Drive also has other features that make it stand out from the crowd, like:
- Optional “always awake” for fast and natural interaction
- Recognized and personalized experience with voice biometrics
- This assistant personalizes experience based on current weather and other car passengers
These little extras make your interaction with Dragon Drive feel as if talking to another person without the stilted language that many AI assistants are known for.
Finally, beyond personalization and lifestyle optimization, this assistant can also tell you about your car. Because the automobile manual is stored locally, you can get answers to questions about an indicator light or your car features without having to look it up, or flipping through a manual.
It’s like having your own mechanic consultant in the car. And being able to get automobile information with a simple question may help drivers feel more secure about the car they are driving. Dragon software may also help avoid costly problems and repairs in the future.
How Can It Help the Automotive Industry?
Dragon Drive doesn’t seek to replace a driver’s existing AI-helpers. Instead, it works seamlessly to integrate their existing technologies into the driving experience. Additionally, special features like gaze detection not only helps drivers find out about the world around them, it also helps create a safer driving experience without additional distractions.
As more drivers request Dragon Drive in their cars, car manufacturers that feature this special assistant will be in high demand. And the ability to meet this demand and customer satisfaction may boost sales for the manufacturers that offer it first.
