Dynamic microphone system for autonomous vehicles

A system for use in a vehicle, comprising:

• an audio processor;
• and
• a plurality of microphones coupled to the audio processor, wherein the plurality of microphones is configured to capture voice commands from one or more passengers inside of the vehicle,
• wherein the audio processor is configured to:
• perform speaker identification to determine which voice commands correspond to which of the one or more passengers,
• process the voice commands to generate reduced distortion voice commands, and
• perform speech recognition on the reduced distortion voice commands to
• determine one or more requests made by the one or more passengers,
• wherein the audio processor is configured to process the voice commands to generate reduced distortion voice commands using a filter generated by executing an artificial intelligence model using the voice commands and an identification of a current configuration of the vehicle as inputs to the artificial intelligence model,
• wherein the artificial intelligence model comprises an artificial neural network trained using training inputs that include synthetic noisy speech,
• wherein the synthetic noisy speech comprises noise and voice recordings,
• wherein the noise comprises recordings of internal noise sources recorded for different configurations of the vehicle, and
• wherein the training inputs for the artificial neural network further include an indication of a configuration of the vehicle when a particular noise recording was captured.
