P3, an engineering, technology development and management consultancy firm, announces a collaboration with Amazon’s Alexa Auto team to provide system integration and testing services for automakers integrating Alexa into their vehicles.
At the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show’s GENIVI Showcase, a special reception designed to kick off the premier annual event, and the 2019 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), P3 will showcase its Connected Vehicle Voice Recognition services with Alexa built-in, along with its core capabilities.
“This is where we need to be in terms of Voice Recognition capabilities and in making today’s drive and vehicle ownership a truly positive experience,” said Philip Potkowski, Managing Partner, P3 North America. “It is another example of how P3 is committed to providing clients with a truly end-to-end experience, from strategy consulting through development and implementation,” added Hakan Ekmen, CEO of P3 communications.
In addition to demonstrating voice recognition access to Alexa features and capabilities like music, weather, and traffic, the preview system will showcase specific in-vehicle features that could be introduced to simplify customers’ interactions in the car.
For example, the system could alert drivers of any maintenance-related issue: when passengers ask Alexa about a maintenance alert light, Alexa could respond with the description and an offer to schedule an appointment with a local dealer or service center. Alexa could then cross-reference the driver’s calendar with the dealer’s service scheduling system and proactively suggest a potential service appointment.
“By integrating Alexa into the vehicle, we believe we can make the in-car experience simpler, more productive, and more entertaining for our customers,” said Ned Curic, VP of Alexa Auto at Amazon. “We’re excited to be working with P3 to deliver new, vehicle-specific features and capabilities to Alexa, and to make it easier for automakers and suppliers to embed Alexa into their vehicles.”
In addition to the GENIVI Showcase, P3 and Alexa will be demonstrating this at the North American International Auto Show during media and industry preview days in the AutoMobili-D space at Cobo Center in Detroit.
