London, UK / Santa Clara, USA – Parkopedia, a leading connected car services provider, has announced an expansion of their partnership with SoundHound AI, a global leader in voice and conversational AI. The collaboration will introduce an in-vehicle voice AI parking agent as part of SoundHound’s in-car voice commerce platform.
The partnership will integrate Parkopedia’s extensive global parking database, covering more than 90 million spaces in over 20,000 cities, with SoundHound’s in-car voice commerce platform. This will allow drivers to easily find parking, compare prices and availability, and make payments using only their voice.
Duncan Licence, Chief Product Officer at Parkopedia, explains, “At Parkopedia, our goal has always been to remove friction from parking, a traditionally challenging element that detracts from the driving experience. By integrating our global parking database with SoundHound’s advanced voice AI, we’re making it possible for drivers to seamlessly find, reserve and pay for parking using nothing more than their voice in a major step forward in convenience and safety on the road.”
The new Parkopedia AI Agent will provide proactive, intelligent recommendations such as suggesting parking near a destination, surfacing special offers like ‘first hour free’, and presenting real-time availability and pricing options. This adds both convenience and value to the driving experience.
Michael Zagorsek, COO at SoundHound AI, adds, “Agentic voice commerce is redefining how drivers interact with their vehicles, allowing them to make hands-free purchases and complete transactions on the go. Parking is a natural next application. Together with Parkopedia, we’re giving drivers a fully conversational, hands-free way to find and pay for parking on the go. It’s part of our broader vision to make everyday in-car tasks effortless, intelligent and connected.”
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, demonstrating how conversational AI can make everyday tasks faster, simpler, and safer.
Parkopedia and SoundHound’s partnership will bring convenience to a variety of services accessible from the vehicle, including restaurant reservations, ticket purchases, and appointment making. SoundHound’s conversational AI technology is already used by hundreds of large enterprise brands and is deployed in millions of cars and devices globally.
