#. Mr. Yoo, who started his car first was in rush. He spoke out aloud to the destination `Hapjung Station` in the navigation with voice. The signal "searching" returns to the bangle bangles in navigation. After 5 minutes, the navigation says "No.2 in Pyeongtaek City, Gyeonggi Province ...." Mr. Yoo hurriedly canceled the route and again called the `sum. The navigation response to this was "Please tell me again exactly". Then, Mr. Yoo went out of his way, but eventually set the car on the side of the road.

Navigation has been evolving technologies such as 3D maps, real-time guidance and voice recognition as a necessity for drivers. Especially, speech recognition technology was spotlighted as a technology to prevent dangerous situation of navigation operation while driving. However, there are not many drivers who search for destinations by voice. It is because the recognition rate itself is considerably low, and if you recognize the voice barely, it leads to the wrong address. The level of speech recognition was only one or two words.

SK Telecom has presented `T map x NUGU`, a smartphone navigation system `T map` with artificial intelligence technology, to solve this inconvenience. It not only improves the voice recognition rate significantly but it also evolved into an `interactive` service that provides SK Telecom with `Who` `to provide various information to drivers.

First of all, T-map x allows someone to set up or change their destination with voice only without touching the screen during driving. The voice recognition rate improved to 96%. Artificial intelligence has increased the recognition of driver`s voice through learning even in a variety of car noises such as engine sounds, wind sounds, and conversation situations.

SK Telecom`s director said, "The driving environment of a car is more noise than a normal office environment. Therefore, it is important to increase the voice recognition rate. If you were able to do a search, T-Map x someone could get the driver`s voice and search the destination correctly. "

Besides, it may be asked to find the cheapest or nearest gas station near you, or you may be asked to provide information about road traffic such as parking lot searches and accident situations. Adjusting the guidance volume and ending the T map can be operated only by voice without touching.

On the other hand, users can also enjoy professional baseball results, major news briefings, listening to radio, weather, and fortune-telling. Users can also access music viewing (Melon) in addition to T-Map. "T-map x will be a bridgehead for automobile life to evolve in two aspects of safety and pleasure. Artificial intelligence Nugu connects to other living areas such as home, leisure.¡±
