SoundHound AI, a provider of voice artificial intelligence, announced the launch of Lucid Assistant with EV automaker Lucid Motors.
Lucid Assistant is a new hands-free voice assistant that offers customers an easy and intuitive way to control many vehicle functions by speech. To demonstrate the Lucid Assistant’s seamless functionality, SoundHound will host a hands-on experience with a Lucid Air at CES 2025 in Las Vegas this week (Booth #4964).
Powered by SoundHound Chat AI, Lucid Assistant integrates the latest generative AI technology, giving drivers access to a voice assistant that enhances the in-vehicle user experience with interactive knowledge discovery, real-time data, and effortless in-vehicle controls.
Now live and available to Lucid Air owners, the Lucid Assistant responds to the wake words “Hey Lucid.” Drivers and passengers can ask questions in a natural and conversational way and receive fast, accurate responses through SoundHound’s proprietary technology.
This technology ensures that the assistant selects the correct response from the most appropriate domain, whether that’s an answer powered by generative AI, or the kind of response that other large language models may not handle, like real-time questions about weather, sports, stocks, and more.
In addition, the in-vehicle voice assistant lets users access Lucid’s full car manual and can provide answers to almost any question about the vehicle’s functionality. Drivers can also use voice to control critical features like navigation, and many of the Lucid Assistant features and functions can also be accessed without needing a cellular connection.
The assistant is available in English, Spanish, French, Arabic, German, and Dutch, with additional languages coming soon.
