Tencent Enables Voice-Operated WeChat in Vehicles!

WeChat will be embedded in some new cars to enable drivers to communicate with others on the platform via voice-control.


WeChat's developer Tencent and China Chang'an Automobile Group unveiled the move Monday on the sidelines of the 2019 Smart China Expo.


The tailor-made WeChat version will allow drivers to give voice commands or use a button on the steering wheel to check unread messages, send new messages and make voice calls.


Tencent has stepped up cooperation with carmakers in recent years in its shift of focus to the industrial internet. It has inked partnership agreements with 21 automakers including BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi to roll out solutions for connected cars on 45 models.


Also, a Chinese-English bilingual online public service platform, jointly developed by China and Singapore, was launched to provide intelligent and convenient travel services for tourists at home and abroad with the help of intelligent big data technology.


As one of the key cultural and tourism projects at the Smart China Expo, the platform is accessible through the official WeChat account "" of the culture and tourism development committee of southwest China's Chongqing Municipality.


The platform, named Chongqing Pass, has a series of characteristic functions including providing information, tour guides, reservations and translation services, according to sources with the committee.


Through the platform, tourists can get cultural and travel information on Chongqing, such as food, housing, tourism, travel, culture and so on.


Tourists can also purchase tickets to popular tourist attractions and cultural performances and book local hotels and residential accommodation at favorable prices on the platform.


In addition, the English version of the Chongqing Pass provides translation services to help overseas tourists learn more about Chongqing.


Known for its winding roads, misty skies, mahjong and hot-pot, Chongqing has become a popular tourist destination in recent years.
