Give your car
a voice.

EXCAR is an AI companion for the car you already own. It plays your music, finds the nearest gas station, reads you the headlines, and watches your engine while you keep your eyes on the road.

See what it does
The EXCAR device, a matte-black module with a glowing blue voice waveform on its front display

In 1982, a black car with a sweeping red light talked back, and every kid watching wanted one. Forty years later, we're done waiting. We're building it for every car, not just the new ones.

What it does

You drive. It handles the rest.

Say its name and ask. No app to fumble with, no screen to look at.

Music

The song you want, without touching your phone.

EXCAR controls your music by voice: play, skip, queue. The phone stays in your pocket where it belongs.

Play something for the drive.
EXCAROn it. Just try not to sing along this time.
On the road

Gas, food, directions. Found and sent to your phone.

Ask for the nearest gas station and EXCAR finds it, checks it against your tank, and hands turn-by-turn navigation to your phone.

Will I make it to Providence?
EXCARBarely. About 38 miles in the tank and Providence is 41 away. There's a station in two exits. Want directions?
Heads up

The morning, briefed.

Headlines, weather, and what's on your plate, read to you on the way instead of scrolled at a red light.

What did I miss?
EXCARThree headlines and a thunderstorm at five. Want the long version or the honest one?
Engine health

It reads the fault code before you Google it.

EXCAR watches your car's live data the whole drive. When a check-engine light comes on, it reads the actual code and tells you what it means in plain words, before the mechanic does.

EXCAR, what was that noise?
EXCARYour check engine light. Code P0301, cylinder one misfire. Not a today-problem, but don't make it a next-month problem.
Presence · in development

It notices when someone is near the car.

Low-power sensing watches the space around the car, even while it sits parked. If someone lingers by the vehicle, EXCAR takes note and can tell you when you return, or simply greet you as you walk up. This one is still being built, and we'll say so until it isn't.

Anyone come by the car while I was gone?
EXCAROne person, about an hour ago. They paused near the driver door for a few seconds, then moved on.
The system

What if your car actually knew you?

Your phone knows the world. Your car knows itself. EXCAR One is what finally puts the two in the same conversation.
