Cerence Pay delivers a secure, voice-powered, contactless payment experience in the car that leverages AI to anticipate drivers’ needs and provide a seamless payment transaction from intent to authentication via voice and facial biometrics and through to purchase. Leveraging P97’s mobile commerce platform, integrated with most of the major fuel brands, Cerence Pay enables drivers to find a fueling location, learn about pricing and amenities, choose a pump, and pay – directly from the car and using their voice.
