The partnership will deliver more efficient management of resources required to integrate the two products, aiming to provide automakers and tier one suppliers with a pre-packaged, full-stack IVI software system that will shorten development time.

LG's webOS Auto is a Linux-powered IVI platform for connected cars. Cerence ARK is designed to help automakers quickly develop a fully localised automotive voice assistant.
