Native Voice's alliance with Walmart to integrate Voice AI in vehicles marks a significant leap forward in the 'Voice Economy.'

The collaboration enables the sale of Native Voice’s “onn.” wireless FM transmitter through Walmart, harnessing the power of voice-controlled content within cars, particularly for those without Bluetooth connectivity. This technological advancement provides users with hands-free access to audio entertainment and information services such as "Hey iHeart" and "Hey TuneIn," echoing the growing consumer preference for voice-assisted functionalities.

John Goscha, Native Voice’s CEO, emphasizes the ease of transitioning to a smarter, distraction-free driving experience thanks to this product. The move aligns with broader industry trends, showcasing a surge in voice technology applications ranging from entertainment to financial transactions. Notably, a significant proportion of U.S. consumers have engaged with voice assistants, with millennials leading in voice-activated bill payments.

This partnership reflects a burgeoning interest amidst vehicle manufacturers and tech firms in merging digital payment systems and AI into the automotive landscape, a field ripe for innovation as connected cars become increasingly prevalent.
