Abstract
A system includes an audio input, a transceiver, and a processor. The processor is programmed to receive a voice query from a vehicle occupant per the audio input, evaluate the query locally to provide initial search results, in parallel, utilize the transceiver to concurrently evaluate the query using one or more remote digital assistants to receive historical and new search results, and merge the local results and the remote results to provide additional lazy load search results.
