MG Motor India has announced its partnership with Jio Platforms. Under the association, the carmaker will offer integration of ‘Hinglish’ voice assistant-enabled experiences powered by Jio’s Digital Assets in its newly launched Comet EV.
The new EV comes integrated with Jio’s state-of-the-art eSIM, which plays a role in improving vehicle safety as it is integrated during the manufacturing process. It further identifies the vehicle and encrypts communications while the vehicle is in operation.
The embedded ‘Hello Jio’ voice assistant has been trained to understand the native Indian speaker who possesses different regional dialects and tonality across India. Its dialogues provide information about cricket, weather, news, horoscope and many more domains. The user can turn the AC on or off, play songs directly, and even ask for cricket score with simple voice commands.
A press release from the carmaker noted that the partnership makes possible an array of innovative new-age smart mobility solutions, which underscore the company's commitment to building a futuristic urban mobility ecosystem while facilitating great experiences.
Gaurav Gupta, Deputy Managing Director, MG Motor India, noted that technology and innovation are leading the connected car space in the automobile industry. The current trend focuses increasingly on software-driven devices, and “our current partnership with a tech innovator like Jio in the Smart Mobility space is a step towards establishing MG Motor as a tech leader in the automobile industry.”
