Cerence Inc.
A maker of AI voice-assistant software for cars, Cerence powers the speech recognition and conversational tech drivers talk to inside vehicles from brands like BMW, Toyota, and Ford. Born in 2019 when voice-tech giant Nuance Communications spun off its automotive division, the company's tech now runs in hundreds of millions of cars worldwide. Its name is a fresh invention — a made-up brand word with no hidden meaning, chosen to stand alone as the new public company.
