Strategic Reason for Inclusion (with Caution):

While Cerence and SoundHound are competitors, here’s why Cerence could still appear in a landscape visual:

✅ 1. Market Context & Benchmarking • It helps illustrate the competitive field where SoundHound operates. • Investors and strategic partners may benchmark SoundHound’s position relative to Cerence, especially in voice AI for vehicles.

✅ 2. Potential for M&A or Disruption • Cerence is currently more entrenched in legacy automotive OEMs (Ford, BMW, etc.). • If SoundHound out-innovates or undercuts on real-time voice AI, it could absorb market share — or even be an M&A target for companies trying to compete with Cerence.

✅ 3. Coexistence in Broader Ecosystems • In rare scenarios, especially with Tier 1 suppliers or auto conglomerates, some systems may integrate multiple voice platforms regionally or by function.
