🎙️ Bonus | MWC 2026 – Andrew Richards, SoundHound AI


Recorded live at Mobile World Congress 2026, this bonus episode gives you the full conversation with Andrew Richards, VP at SoundHound AI — one of the most advanced voice AI platforms deployed in production vehicles today.

In just a few minutes on the show floor, Andrew unpacks a lot: the debut of SoundHound's Vision AI in Europe (yes, your car can now answer "what's that building?"), the real-world mechanics of Edge vs. Cloud arbitration, and why the future of in-car AI isn't about beating Apple or Google — it's about orchestrating alongside them.

He also reflects on something every driver has felt: the frustration of a car that just didn't understand you. That era, he says, is over. What's next is far more interesting.

A sharp, honest conversation from the heart of MWC 2026.

"Under the Hood: Automotive Storytelling" uncovers the human narratives driving innovation in an industry that impacts lives worldwide. Hosted by Stéphane Lagresle, this podcast explores how the power of storytelling ultimately connects technology to humans.
