#205 - Matt Anderson, Director of Business Development, SoundHound

Author: Jayesh Jagasia February 16, 2023 Duration: 46:46

Buttons and physical interfaces disappearing from your car is now an inevitability. That said, we certainly can’t be fumbling with a touchscreen to change the fan speed or switch the radio station. There has to be a better way. That’s what makes me very bullish about voice as the primary human-machine interface in the modern car.

We have all gotten used to speaking to our smartphones and smart speakers, and getting a lot done - typing out an email, playing your favourite 60s rock album and ordering toilet paper. The voice experience in the car, however, lags far, far behind.

SoundHound is here to change that. In this episode of the AI in Automotive Podcast, I am speaking to Matt Anderson, SoundHound’s Director of Business Development. Matt lays out exactly how SoundHound’s speech-to-meaning technology is able to understand what you are saying, interpret your intent and respond to you intelligently, whilst tapping into a variety of domains. In addition to the technology itself, we also talk about a brand’s voice identity, which I found incredibly fascinating.

I am excited about what the future holds in this space, and after listening to my conversation with Matt, I am sure you will be too. And when that happens, do share this episode of the AI in Automotive Podcast with a friend or colleague.
