"If the lion's share of commands from the driver can be inputted through virtual assistants, rather than fiddling around with touchscreens and buttons, the current epidemic of driver distraction will be greatly mitigated," Palmer added. "Automakers have realized this and the race is on for them to integrate their own solutions or partner with consumer electronics companies such as Google and Amazon."
“如果可以通过虚拟助理接收驾驶员发出的大部分命令，而不用摆弄触摸屏和按钮，那么当前普遍存在的驾驶员分心问题将大大减轻，”帕尔默补充道。“汽车制造商已经意识到了这一点，为此，他们正在争相将各自的解决方案与谷歌、亚马逊等消费电子公司进行整合，或与其合作。”
