By GlobalDataIn January, Volkswagen (VW) announced that its vehicles will host ChatGPT and will be able to hold back-and-forth dialogue by the middle of 2024.
VW unveiled its first ChatGPT-powered vehicles at the CES electronics trade fair at the start of 2024. The automotive giant said the GenAI-integrated cars would be available in Europe and North America from early in the second quarter of 2024.
Customers will be able to tell the car anything from “I’m feeling cold” to “I fancy a burger” and the GenAI-powered voice assistant will respond to the demands accordingly, the company said.
Kai Gruenitz, a board member for VW’s technical development, told Reuters that drivers will be able to adjust things in their cars without a button.
Gruenitz told the publication that VW drivers do not want to “manually adjust their seats” and instead want “to use speech dialogue systems”.
