IBM Watson’s cloud-based automotive assistant can be a great driving companion, especially if you own multiple cars. It can be accessed manually or through voice commands, and further tasks can be accomplished through voice-based interaction with the system. The cognitive platform is capable of starting conversations for information on its own in appropriate situations, troubleshooting problems, logging real-time data like navigation, vehicle health and so on, and providing tips and suggestions in response. Based on historical data and usage patterns, Watson can generate recommendations and suggestions for upcoming events. In addition, it provides data analytics that can help in easier and better vehicle maintenance and cost optimisation strategies. Businesses can greatly benefit from IBM Watson’s package deal based on the number of vehicles (using Entity ID).
