At CES 2019, while presenting the possibilities offered by one of its new chips for connected cars, the representative of Qualcomm was interrupted by the personal assistant Alexa who launched unexpectedly a "No, this is not true ". Would Qualcomm have lied to an audience of journalists? The funny scene of which a video was published on Twitter amuses the gallery.
At CES 2019, Qualcomm held a conference on Monday, January 7, where it showed how embedded personal assistants could facilitate natural interactions between vehicles and their drivers, a way to enhance the connected car experience. The smelter has unveiled a new chip for automotive systems that gives pride to Alexa, the artificial intelligence of Amazon found in the heart of its speakers Echo.
When Alexa interrupts a Qualcomm representative in full presentation
Even though the presenter praised Alexa's abilities, the personal assistant had a reaction quite the opposite of what might have been expected in the face of these throws of flowers: "No, that's not true" retorted he, triggering the laughter of the audience. Like what, would artificial intelligence be more sincere than humans?
It's hard to know when the Alexa presentation was wrong with the presenter's statements. It showed, among other things, how the driver in a car could launch music with voice commands Alexa, launch a movie on the screens facing the passengers in the back ... Alexa is also able to recommend restaurants and hotels near where the vehicle is, etc.
It must be said that if Google Assistant is more common in vehicles through the Android Auto system. But being able to play with Alexa in vehicles is quite complex. Amazon eventually teamed up with Qualcomm to make more room for cars in the years to come.
