With Microsoft, TomTom Creates an AI-Based Conversational Assistant for Vehicles

TomTom, a leader in digital mapping, announced on Tuesday that it has teamed up with Microsoft (MSFT.O) to develop a conversational assistant for cars that is driven by artificial intelligence (AI).

According to the business, the assistant will let users “converse naturally with their vehicles” and provide voice interaction for infotainment.

Businesses can use the large language models (LLM) of OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, with the Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service.

In July, TomTom released an LLM plug-in for ChatGPT, enabling users of the chatbot to utilise its maps to schedule travel and discover new locations.

When Azure Maps location services were initially powered by Microsoft in 2016, the firm started collaborating with them.

The settlement, which is pending court approval, addresses the accusations. It was announced late Friday.
