The trend toward using voice assistants in cars began with people bringing their mobile devices with them to make calls, answer messages and find their way via navigation apps. Naturally, car manufacturers saw this trend as an opportunity to improve driver experiences in their vehicles. Industry leaders immediately began developing sophisticated voice-enabled infotainment systems and embedded them into certain models to help their customers access a wide range of services while controlling their in-car environments.

These systems are showing up everywhere from Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Honda, PSA, and BMW. One of the challenges for many manufacturers looking to add voice assistants to their vehicles is knowing which domains are the most critical to include and which can be added as their voice-first strategies mature.

To help car manufacturers get started adding voice AI to their products, we’ve identified the 5 most common uses for voice assistants while driving:

  1. Making phone calls
  2. Getting directions and accessing navigation
  3. Sending and receiving text messages
  4. Playing music
  5. Asking for local recommendations
