“The connected car is evolving into the intelligent car – with

people interact with an automobile. The Dragon Drive Automotive
Assistant makes apps and services simpler and easier to engage
with, reducing driver distraction via a system that delivers on
driver needs through the power of conversation,” said Arnd Weil,

Intelligent, Contextual Capabilities
Nuance is continuously innovating the Dragon Drive Automotive
Assistant with capabilities and intelligence that leverage data
about driver preferences, the car and a driver’s surroundings to
create a proactive assistant that completes tasks while keeping
interactions to a minimum. It understands the driver’s context by
tapping into known preferences as well as the data shared by the
car’s sensors and diagnostic systems. For instance, when the car is
due for an oil change, the assistant will recommend a service time,
date and location of the dealer.
Nuance’s Dragon Drive technology is deployed in more than 130
million cars and 50 million portable navigation systems worldwide,
from leading automakers including Audi, BMW, Daimler, Ford, Toyota
and others. Click here for more information on Dragon Drive.
