TomTom and Amazon Unveil Next‑Gen In‑Vehicle AI Navigation with Alexa Custom Assistant

TomTom, the global expert in mapping and location technology, and Amazon have announced a major advancement in automotive voice‑enabled navigation at **CES 2026** in Las Vegas. The companies have successfully integrated **TomTom’s Automotive Navigation Application** with Amazon’s **Alexa Custom Assistant**, built on the intelligent **Alexa+ architecture**, creating a more natural, AI‑powered in‑vehicle experience for drivers. This new solution goes beyond traditional rigid voice commands by enabling conversational, context‑aware interactions. Drivers can now use everyday language to perform complex navigation tasks—like adding, removing, or swapping multiple trip waypoints, searching for addresses or points of interest along a route, and querying upcoming EV charging stops—without distraction. The Alexa Custom Assistant also allows automakers to build their own branded AI assistants with sophisticated AI understanding and coordination with TomTom’s navigation systems, helping deliver smarter and safer driving experiences. Both companies say this agentic navigation experience is now available for automakers to implement, with live demos showcased at TomTom’s CES booth. #TomTom #AlexaCustomAssistant #InVehicleAI #CES2026 #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
