Overview of the global automotive voice and speech recognition system market
According to the market analysts at Technavio, the global automotive voice and speech recognition system market will grow at a steady CAGR of more than 11% by 2020. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) guidelines on driver distraction will encourage the adoption of VR systems. The NHTSA guidelines on driver distraction show the necessity of having VR systems in light vehicles. Without this system, the driver will not be able to make a call while driving on the road. According to the NHTSA, VR systems are engineered to pair mobile devices with the vehicle’s displays and controls. As a result, drivers will be able to drive and use their phones simultaneously. This, in turn, will naturally bring down the instances of driver distraction and reduce the number of traffic violation tickets for the drivers.
The evolution of VR systems to integrated assistant systems is a key factor that is anticipated to aid in this market’s growth over the coming years. Recently, it has been observed that many automakers have started supplying fully integrated suites like Ford's SYNC and Fiat's Blue&Me, which controls the connected system of the car through a set of commands. The suites of electronic control systems were developed at a much earlier stage compared to the VR system. As a result, these systems were swiftly incorporated by their respective automakers into their existing platforms as soon as the VR technology was available.

Speech recognition refers to the capability of a machine or program to receive, understand, and execute spoken commands. This technology combines know-how and research of various fields including linguistics, computer science, and electrical engineering to develop methodologies and technologies that enable the recognition and translation of spoken language into text by computers and computerized systems. The size of a voice-recognition system’s vocabulary database is directly related to the RAM capacity of the computer it is installed within. A speech-recognition program runs many folds faster if the entire vocabulary is uploaded onto RAM, as compared to searching the hard drive for appropriate matches.
