SoundHound AI (SOUN, Financial) has captured attention at CES 2025 with the debut of its first-ever in-vehicle voice assistant featuring integrated food ordering capabilities. This feature enables drivers to order meals directly through their car's voice system, streamlining convenience without sacrificing safety.
The assistant is powered by SoundHound's advanced conversational AI technology, designed to make interactions feel natural and effortless. Drivers can execute a variety of tasks, such as finding the nearest restaurants, placing food orders for pickup, and navigating seamlessly to their destination. Example queries include:
• "Show me the closest MOD Pizza restaurants."
• "I'd like to order a burrito from the most convenient location on my way."
• "Find some Asian food to order within five miles of my hotel."
SoundHound is currently in discussions with leading automotive manufacturers to pilot this first-of-its-kind feature. The goal is to deliver voice-driven transactions and unparalleled convenience, embedding these capabilities into the increasingly digital vehicle cockpit.
Keyvan Mohajer, CEO of SoundHound, expressed enthusiasm for the new assistant:
"This in-vehicle solution highlights how conversational AI can simplify and elevate daily routines, keeping drivers engaged and efficient while prioritizing safety."
