4 Jun
Summary
- Hyundai launches Pleos Connect with advanced AI voice assistant.
- AI understands natural conversations and multi-step commands.
- New system debuts on Grandeur sedan, aims for 20 million vehicles.
Hyundai Motor Co. has introduced its next-generation Pleos Connect infotainment system, signaling a significant move towards software-defined vehicles. Central to this system is 'Gleo AI,' an innovative voice assistant designed to engage in natural, multi-step conversations, moving beyond rigid command structures. This AI can process simultaneous requests and even identify different speakers within the vehicle, enhancing user interaction and safety. The system also incorporates a large central touch display within the driver's line of sight, complemented by physical controls for usability.
The Pleos Connect system is set to debut with the new Grandeur sedan in South Korea in May, followed by a gradual global release. Hyundai is committed to ongoing enhancements, offering continuous over-the-air updates to improve system performance over time. This initiative is part of Hyundai's broader effort to elevate in-car experiences, with an ambitious goal to equip 20 million vehicles from Hyundai and its affiliate Kia Corp. with this technology by 2030.
