Toyota of Plano is excited to announce that Toyota Motor North America(TMNA) has formed a global partnership with Google Cloud to transform the current Toyota in-car customer experience. The partnership will foster the integration of the cloud giant's speech recognition technologies into Toyota's next generation onboard multimedia system. As part of this partnership, TMNA will also utilize Google Cloud's leading artificial intelligence(AI) solutions to power its virtual assistant. The AI will allow the virtual assistant to understand context and continue conversations seamlessly across devices. Our Toyota of Plano team looks forward to continuing to see the innovative ways that TMNA builds on and improves the cars that our customers have come to love and trust. 

This collaboration between Google Cloud and Toyota aims to revolutionize connected vehicle services, including infotainment, predictive maintenance and connected technologies. With Google Cloud's AI solutions, Toyota will continue to modernize its business operations, and enable Toyota owners and their passengers to effortlessly enjoy access to information about their surroundings wherever they are.

When asked about this partnership, Zack Hicks, the Chief Digital Officer and Chief Information Officer at Toyota Motor North America said "at Toyota, we believe a true AI-powered voice interface should be able to understand context and continue the conversation whether you're at home or in your car." "Our customers shouldn't have to compartmentalize their lives. We are excited to partner with Google Cloud to bring that seamless experience to our customers."

Toyota's new virtual assistant will be available on all vehicles equipped with the Entune 3.0 Audio system starting this summer, with continued updates over time as its capabilities evolve. The assistant combines Speech-to-Text (STT) technology with natural language processing (NLP) technology, which allows Toyota’s AI engine to understand users' requests using language processing models - based on statistical linguistics research developed by leading universities around the world.
