# carName

A name that identifies the user’s car.

## Declaration

```swift
@NSCopying var carName: INSpeakableString? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Use this property to identify the correct car. If Siri does not detect a car name, it sets this property to myCar. Apps should register the names, makes, and models of their cars as user vocabulary or global vocabulary. For example, an auto manufacturer could register the makes and models of their supported cars as global vocabulary, while an app may register a user’s nickname for a car as user vocabulary. Registering the car names helps the system identify those cars when users speak the car names.
