Ensuring privacy, safety & performance when integrating multiple voice-enabled applications in the digital cockpit

Consumers who rely on intelligent voice assistants (IVAs) in their devices – from smart phones to smart speakers – have come to expect the same convenience in their vehicles. While in-vehicle IVAs promise to enhance the driver experience by enabling voice-activated safety and infotainment features, they come with privacy, security and potential safety concerns. Automotive engineers designing infotainment systems and digital cockpits are challenged to safely & securely integrate multiple voice-enabled applications, use-cases and intelligent voice assistants within their complex global automotive programs.

This webinar will provide you with insights on integrating IVAs within this complex environment. BlackBerry QNX experts with deep knowledge of automotive acoustics and speech recognition will discuss how they have helped customers overcome these challenges and will offer advice you can apply when designing your own IVA programs.  

Join us for this one-hour webinar and learn: 

  • How to integrate and manage multiple intelligent voice assistants
  • Safety, Security & Privacy aspects of automotive speech systems design
  • How to deal with system complexity with multiple audio acoustics processing systems running simultaneously
  • How to avoid being sidelined as big tech firms bring their ecosystems into vehicles

About the industry landscape, and how multiple integrations will be needed to ensure the success of global programs
