Owners of the three auto brands’ specific-model vehicles equipped with Tmall Genie Auto will have access to voice-controlled information and services in the near future; these include identifying nearby attractions and restaurants, booking film tickets, ordering to-go boxes, checking the status of package deliveries, reading children’s books and ordering items on Alibaba’s retail platform.

In addition, car owners with a Tmall Genie-compatible device at home would be able to monitor and control their smart-home devices from their cars in the near future, performing daily tasks such as running a status check on temperature and light, or turning on the heater and air conditioning at home.

“By providing AI technologies, including speech-recognition and Natural Language Processing, Tmall Genie Auto enables car users to access an in-car infotainment portfolio by tapping into Alibaba’s content and service ecosystem,” said Alibaba AI Labs GM, Miffy Chen.

During CES Asia, Alibaba’s B2C marketplace Tmall also announced its tie-up with Renault to roll out an electric car featuring Tmall’s cat logo on the vehicle’s exterior design. The Renault City K-ZE genie edition, also integrated with Tmall Genie Auto, will be on sale in China later this year.
