Hey Lucid = Soundhound AI?

[DeaneG]

It seems that Hey Lucid may be powered by Soundhound AI:

SoundHound AI Spotlights First-Of-Its-Kind Voice AI for Automotive at CES

In just under a year, SoundHound’s Amelia AI Agents have supported Apivia Courtage in handling over 100,000 customer calls and reducing the number of inbound queries handled directly by the French wholesale broker’s customer relations team by nearly 20%.

Hey Lucid doesn't seem to have AI functionality at this point. Maybe in the future.

 

[idiot900]

It certainly acts like a small LLM in my car...

 

[Unmutual]

It is able to tell me what time it is when I ask ....

 

[tonybot]

Try asking it if it uses LLM or what model it is using. It does answer but not with specifics.

I stand corrected (I think):
Does it use Soundhound AI?

Yes, you're correct! Lucid Air does use SoundHound AI for its voice assistant system. In 2023, Lucid Motors partnered with SoundHound to provide the voice recognition and conversational AI technology for its vehicles, replacing Amazon Alexa with SoundHound's AI-driven platform.

SoundHound’s technology enables the Lucid UX Voice Assistant to deliver a more integrated and natural experience for drivers and passengers. The system uses natural language processing (NLP) and speech recognition capabilities to respond to a wide variety of commands, allowing users to control various in-car functions like climate control, navigation, media, and more.

SoundHound’s AI is known for its advanced conversational abilities, supporting voice commands in a more context-aware manner, which makes it a good fit for high-end vehicles like the Lucid Air. The system is designed to be flexible and adaptive, allowing drivers to speak in a more conversational and intuitive way without having to use strict command phrases.

In summary, Lucid Air's new voice assistant, powered by SoundHound AI, offers a more sophisticated and integrated experience compared to its previous reliance on Alexa. This shift helps improve the car's ability to understand and respond to natural language commands in a more seamless manner.

Just a heads-up, I wouldn't ask ChatGPT about things like this, because it tends to hallucinate. However, in this case, it is right because in their press release, they mention demos with Lucid and also Nvidia (their chips power some aspects of the Air).

That's why I added "(I think)"

NVIDIA is an investor with Soundhound too. That's probably almost as good as having the Saudis as your biggest investor. There's no shortage of $$ behind you and having access to NVIDIA"s chips can't hurt either.

Soundhound has been around forever and has always done a pretty great job.

It will be interesting to see how AI evolves.

I had this experience with an "Auto Moderator" on Reddit not long ago. It apparently thought my use of retards in talking about throttle response was hate speech.

I don’t believe that is “AI” per se, as it likely simply has a list of blacklisted words, but nevertheless I agree it will be interesting to see where it goes.
