Navigation experts at TomTom are making cars chattier with the help of Microsoft's Azure OpenAI.
The company will talk about the new experiences during a session at Microsoft's Build conference Wednesday.
Modern cars often do have some form of a voice assistant present, but TomTom is talking about a far smarter, AI-based assistant that can engage the driver in a natural conversation, as well as handle complex driver requests.
