Speech-to-speech AI assistants face latency and technical hurdles for automotive safeguards

A new research paper explores the challenges of implementing safeguards for speech-to-speech (S2S) large language model assistants, particularly within automotive applications. The study evaluates two methods for integrating these guardrails: transcript-based and tool-based approaches. Both methods were found to be insufficient for industrial deployment due to significant latency issues, adding delays of up to 1.4 seconds per response, and technical challenges such as non-deterministic tool behavior.
