The BMW Group's 7 Series was the first to launch this year with a conversational user interface that integrates Nuance's hybrid cloud-based speech recognition, natural language understanding, interaction and interruption, and text reading solutions. Together, these technologies create intuitive access to in-car features and connected services while minimizing distractions.

The BMW Group will be the first to introduce Nuance's latest in-vehicle voice recognition technologies, along with neural network-based natural language understanding technology, for faster, more accurate results and a significantly improved user experience. This fully integrated solution, designed for the automotive sector, provides quick and easy access to applications and services such as navigation, music, message dictation, calendar, weather information, social media, and more, all through a conversational voice interface. Accessible by voice from the main menu, it delivers an unprecedented level of user experience compared to third-party mobile solutions.

Nuance's unique hybrid voice features offer drivers a safer and smarter way to access apps and services, even when connectivity is unavailable. An intelligent arbitrage algorithm generates the best possible results from the cloud or the onboard system.
