On April 8, Cerence expanded its partnership with BYD, the world’s leading new-energy vehicle manufacturer, to deploy next-gen, LLM-powered in-car AI assistants. Using the Cerence xUI agentic platform, BYD will introduce these intelligent experiences across its global vehicle lineup on an accelerated timeline, beginning this spring with the ATTO 2 DM-i.

The collaboration aims to combine automotive-grade reliability with rapid market entry, allowing BYD to scale advanced conversational features across various regions and languages. The new AI assistant is designed to function as a conversational companion, moving away from static commands toward fluid, multi-step interactions. Powered by CaLLM (Cerence Inc.’s (NASDAQ:CRNC) family of automotive-optimized LLMs), the system orchestrates complex tasks and provides drivers with trusted, real-time information regarding travel, music, sports, and news.

This deep integration ensures that the assistant is not only responsive but also remains brand-aligned and intuitive for passengers. By supporting a wide array of languages, the Cerence xUI platform enables BYD to deliver localized and culturally relevant user experiences while maintaining a unified global identity.

Cerence Inc. (NASDAQ:CRNC) provides AI-powered assistants for the mobility/transportation market in the US, the rest of the Americas, Germany, the rest of Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Japan, and the rest of the Asia-Pacific.
