Israeli startup Kardome to test smart audio solution with Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi's Innovation Lab

The collaboration will leverage Kardome’s generic speech recognition and noise reduction technology to solve the frequent issue of speech recognition in the car

Kardome has entered an agreement with Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi’s (RNM's) Innovation Lab in Tel Aviv, Israel, to evaluate Kardome’s smart audio solutions for automotive applications, the Israeli startup said in a press release on 2 June. The collaboration will leverage Kardome’s generic speech recognition and noise reduction technology to solve the frequent issue of speech recognition in the car. “The state-of-the-art beamforming solutions, that estimate signal's direction, require multiple units to be installed to capture high quality sound of the front and rear passengers. With Kardome, we hope that a single unit would provide better performance,” said Antoine Basseville, director of Alliance Innovation Lab in Israel.
