WFCO Electronics and Cerence Inc. will work together to create an RV digital cabin experience based on artificial intelligence (AI).
Cerence and WFCO will create a voice-enabled interaction platform. The companies said they will transform RV drivers’ and passengers’ in-vehicle experience through the in-vehicle assistant, deeply integrated with the vehicle and its sensors.
The AI platform will enhance safety, comfort and productivity on the road, the companies said.
“RV owners worldwide have long enjoyed the many benefits that RV travel provides – extended time with family and friends, proximity to the outdoors, and flexibility in their travels,” said Jack Cheng, WFCO CEO. “We are excited to update and transform this in-vehicle experience, bringing many of the innovative technologies present in today’s passenger cars into the RV market.”
The companies expect to introduce their new digital cabin experience for RVs in 2023.
“In Cerence, we have found the perfect partner to team with to deliver an entirely new smart digital cabin experience to RV owners globally,” Cheng said, “as we chart WFCO’s mission to become the center of RV energy management.”
WFCO is an industry leader in RV power products. Cerence Inc. delivers AI solutions for various mobility types.
“Conversational AI has transformed many aspects of consumer mobility, enabling voice-powered interaction that simplifies drivers’ interactions with their cars and improves their day-to-day journeys,” said Stefan Ortmanns, Cerence CEO. “We are thrilled to expand beyond the car to bring our proven innovation and technology leadership to a new area of mobility – RVs – and to partner with WFCO, a known, experienced player who is leading the way in RV innovation.”
