In Cerence AI and TCL’s joint demo, users will also have simple access to DeepSeek.

  • Dual- and Multi-Seat Interaction and Multi-Screen Synchronization – Voice-controlled screen casting and operations will allow for synchronized interactions between front and rear seats, fostering collaboration among the driver, passengers, and Cerence xUI for intelligent dialogue.

  • Smart Home Integration – Seamless connectivity between Cerence xUI and TCL’s extensive ecosystem of smart home systems, allowing for intelligent home control directly from the car.
