[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] LG Electronics announced on the 14th that it will jointly develop an in-vehicle infotainment system with the U.S. vehicle voice recognition solution company 'Cerence'.

LG Electronics recently held a signing ceremony in Las Vegas, USA, with Cerence to develop an IVI (In-Vehicle Infotainment) system based on webOS Auto equipped with voice recognition functionality. The two companies plan to enable customers to use various functions such as navigation and multimedia content playback inside the vehicle through voice recognition.

It has been conducting research and development in the vehicle voice recognition field for over 20 years and has applied its solutions to more than 300 million vehicles to date. Additionally, it supplies voice recognition engines supporting over 70 languages to global automakers.

Sanjay Dhawan, CEO of Cerence, said, "By collaborating, the two companies can provide cutting-edge experiences to automakers and Tier 1 suppliers for their customers."
