Volkswagen will launch cars with ChatGPT-powered assistants by mid-2024, allowing drivers and passengers to toggle functionalities such as navigation and temperature control through voice commands.
German automobile manufacturing giant Volkswagen plans to integrate OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT into its cars as early as mid-2024.
On Jan. 9, Volkswagen presented vehicles featuring ChatGPT-powered voice assistants at the CES 2024 trade show in Las Vegas. The cars are expected to launch in North America and Europe by the second quarter of 2024.
ChatGPT will help Volkswagen’s built-in voice assistant to have back-and-forth dialogue with car occupants. Most importantly, the Volkswagen assistant will be able to interpret and respond to a range of non-conventional commands. For example, the assistant can raise the temperature upon hearing “I'm feeling cold.”
