German automobile giant Mercedes is currently engaged in discussions with OpenAI regarding the implementation of ChatGPT or a similar language-based AI software. This collaboration aims to enhance the voice command capabilities in Mercedes models significantly. By capitalizing on artificial intelligence, Mercedes customers will gain access to plenty of new possibilities and features that can be effortlessly controlled through voice commands. This integration will empower users with functionalities that were previously unattainable.
How To Integrate?
Presently American customers can register for the Beta program by simply saying “Hey, Mercedes, I want to join the Beta program.” It currently will be a three-month test run after which the company will analyze the data for a better understanding of voice recognition which will be beneficial for people speaking other languages or accents. The beta program will help set a rollout plan in other markets.
Official Statement
“The integration of ChatGPT with Microsoft and OpenAI in our controlled cloud environment is a milestone on our way to making our cars the center of our customers’ digital lives,” said Markus Schäfer, Mercedes’ chief technological officer. “Our beta program enhances the existing Hey Mercedes features with the ChatGPT capabilities, such as navigation queries, weather requests, and others.”
We believe that ChatGPT integration would be able a massive leap forward in car entertainment as you would have one of the smartest language-based AI models at your disposal. ChatGPT can provide accurate information from across the web in easy-to-understand ways, you might be able to write long and complex emails while driving the car or get detailed information about the destination you’re about to visit.
