Recently, Cerence Inc. has established a new partnership with Kawasaki Motors Corp. to transform the user experience of its two-wheeler lineup. By integrating Cerence Ride, the platform specifically designed for two-wheelers, Kawasaki will provide riders with the necessary information through an intuitive voice AI assistant for navigation, vehicle control, and cloud applications.
As fuel prices rise and traffic congestion in densely populated cities increases, two-wheelers are becoming increasingly popular, which also means the demand for riders to access information on the go is growing. Cerence Ride enables Kawasaki to meet this demand by connecting riders to the world around them through voice assistance.
The Cerence Ride platform is tailored for two-wheelers and offers a voice AI assistant to help riders obtain the information they need. Whether it's switching radio stations, checking diagnostic information, or using navigation tools, the rider's experience will be optimized and remain connected throughout their journey. This partnership will provide riders with a safer and more convenient riding experience.
Additionally, Cerence Ride is compatible with both Android and iOS, and can be embedded into smartphones and vehicle dashboards. With pre-integrated voice AI SDKs and experienced professional services, two-wheeler OEMs can ensure a quick time-to-market.
Kawasaki's motorcycle series products are available worldwide, but the aforementioned features are only accessible in specific countries/regions to users who have purchased a license.
