Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #558
Hey there. Well, if you listened to yesterday’s flash briefing, you know I was speaking about vehicles, and specifically, I was talking about Toyota trucks.
Well, today I want to tell you about a skill that the Canadian government just launched as a pilot project, and the skill is called, “Vehicle Recalls Canada.”
And what this is, it’s a pilot project for the government of Canada to use voice technology as a way to inform people about vehicle recalls.
And so, essentially what you do is you talk to the skill, and you can provide your make, your model, and your year of your vehicle, and then you can get information, and the information is coming straight from Transport Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database.
It’s a pilot project for the government of Canada.
And, you can also opt in if you’d like, to put your phone number in there, and get a text message when there are recalls on your vehicles.
So, I think this is a pretty cool use of the technology. Feel free to try it out. Vehicle Recalls Canada is the name of the skill.
And, with the number of vehicles that have recalls on them that don’t actually get fixed, this could be really valuable test pilot project.
So this project is going to run for six months. Check it out, see what you think. Alright, talk to you tomorrow.
