Project description

Our client is advancing its in-vehicle voice assistant into an intelligent, AI-powered companion. Since 2024, they have been incorporating large-language-model capabilities (Azure OpenAI / ChatGPT) into vehicles equipped with the MIB3 infotainment system, with new E³-architecture models featuring enhanced voice functions from the factory. The AIME (AI Model Engine) backend program supports this development over a multi-year timeline, addressing natural-language dialogue, empathic communication, and the complete cloud-edge data pipeline. DXC Luxoft serves as the end-to-end delivery partner, collaborating closely with the client’s engineers within a joint product team on the Azure platform (AKS, Azure OpenAI, Managed Identity, Azure Monitor, Azure DevOps).
