Cerence announced strong adoption for its next-generation in-car assistant platform, Cerence xUI. Multiple premium global automakers have committed to the platform, with production set for vehicles launching in 2026.
The Cerence xUI platform leverages NVIDIA's AI Enterprise software. This software runs securely on Microsoft's Azure cloud platform. The solution supports the automotive industry's shift toward advanced, LLM-powered conversational AI.
This traction reinforces Azure's role as a key infrastructure provider for the sector. The solution helps manufacturers meet rising consumer demand for faster and more natural in-car AI experiences. A Microsoft VP noted the combined strength of the companies "raises the bar for in-vehicle intelligence."
