DALIAN, China -- The race for supremacy in AI-powered automotive voice recognition is heating up in China, as the world's biggest auto market increasingly becomes a standard-bearer for technology.
Homegrown player iFlytek expects to install its voice technology in 30% more vehicles in 2022 from last year, while U.S.-based Cerence looks to woo Chinese automakers with its ample experience with global customers. The two are neck-and-neck in the Chinese market, each controlling a share of about 40% in 2020.
