Toyota Expands Partnership With Google Cloud's AI-Powered Speech Services

(RTTNews) - Toyota (TM) and Google Cloud announced Tuesday an expanded partnership that brings together Toyota and Lexus next-generation audio multimedia systems and Google Cloud's AI-based speech services. Toyota's next-generation system will no longer require an internet connection for natural-speech functions.

Toyota's Voice Assistant, which leverages technology from Google Cloud, was co-developed by Toyota Motor North America Connected Technologies and Toyota Connected organizations since 2018. The partnership highlights the AI and machine learning innovation brought forth in the latest Toyota and Lexus infotainment systems.
