The new voice control is launched by the crew calling "Hello, Volkswagen".Understand natural language, for example, if you say "cold", the air conditioning is optimally controlled.If you ask, "Where is the Japanese restaurant in Berlin?", The navigation will guide you.Thanks to the digital microphone, it recognizes which driver or the crew is talking.As a result, the air conditioner close to the crew sitting position can be operated.

The improved voice control allows the navigation system, calls, air conditioning, etc. by voice.The understanding rate has been greatly improved, reaching a level of about 95 %.New software can be used with less system interfaces than before, so it can easily integrate online functions such as news and weather forecasts.

The response and proposals for voice controls will be provided by two sources, the cloud and vehicles, which are stored offline.Online matching improves the quality of the recognition rate and the result, and offline information can be used even if there is no mobile network such as underground parking.Whether online or offline, the response and reaction are 4 times faster than before.It takes about 0.5 seconds to process online requests on the server, and feedback reaches the vehicle within 1 second.If necessary, you can also complete the request and command by touching the display where the related menu is displayed.

◆ A new semiconductor with about 25 % high processing capacity

The touch screen of the in -vehicle infotainment is also improved.If the user's finger enters within several centimeters from the screen, the button around the switch on the hazard lamp will not be malfunctioned so that it does not malfunction.As soon as the finger touches the screen, the volume and temperature control are disabled so that they do not malfunction.

There is no change in the control of the electrostatic capacity display itself.To activate a specific function, use a light touch.Furthermore, by adopting a new infrared melee sensor technology, gesture control is possible from a place several centimeters away.

MIB3 (Modular Infotainment Matrix) also has many improvements.In terms of hardware, a more powerful system on -chip (SoC) is introduced.The central treatment device (CPU) consists of four core with a graphic card and a digital signal processor for audio.The new SOC has about 25 % higher processing power, and the graphic card triples the performance.As a result, if you enter your destination in the navigation system, the route will be displayed within 5 seconds faster than before.
