SANTA CLARA, Calif. and LONDON — November 25, 2025 — Leads & Copy —
SoundHound AI, Inc. (Nasdaq: SOUN) and Parkopedia have expanded their partnership to introduce an in-vehicle voice AI parking agent, integrating Parkopedia’s parking database with SoundHound’s voice commerce platform.
The collaboration allows drivers to find parking, compare real-time prices and availability, and complete payments using voice commands. Parkopedia’s database covers more than 90 million spaces in over 20,000 cities.
The Parkopedia AI Agent offers proactive recommendations, suggesting parking near a destination and highlighting special offers and real-time availability. An example scenario involves a driver navigating to Grand Central Market in Los Angeles. The AI Voice Agent proactively suggests available parking nearby, providing options with associated costs displayed on screen. The driver can then reserve and pay for parking spots using voice commands, with navigation automatically set to the reserved location.
Duncan Licence, Chief Product Officer at Parkopedia, stated that the integration aims to remove friction from parking. Michael Zagorsek, COO at SoundHound AI, noted that agentic voice commerce is redefining in-car interactions, making tasks effortless and connected.
Voice commerce first debuted at CES 2025 with in-vehicle food ordering. The partnership between Parkopedia and SoundHound will be showcased at SoundHound’s CES 2026 booth in the Las Vegas Convention Center (West Hall, Booth #5867).
SoundHound plans to enable new, hands-free voice commerce capabilities across multiple industries, including restaurant reservations, ticket purchases, appointment making and more, bringing the same convenience to a variety of services accessible from the vehicle. SoundHound’s conversational AI technology is already used by hundreds of large enterprise brands and is deployed in millions of cars and devices globally.
Parkopedia, acquired by Arrive in 2025, is the leading connected car services provider used by automakers, organizations, and millions of drivers across 90 countries. Parkopedia is also developing highly detailed indoor maps and corresponding algorithms to help drivers and self-driving vehicles navigate to available parking spaces and EV chargers.
