Mercedes-Benz is taking a leap forward in the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into its vehicles. The luxury car manufacturer recently announced that it will be integrating ChatGPT into its cars to improve in-car voice control systems. ChatGPT, which is known for its natural language processing abilities, will support the “Hey Mercedes” MBUX Voice Assistant, making it more intuitive and responsive to natural voice commands. The integration will be made available to 900,000 US vehicles through a beta program that will last three months. The feedback from the program will affect how Mercedes-Benz decides to handle the larger rollout.
This integration will allow drivers to have more natural conversations with their cars. The AI chatbot will be able to understand natural voice commands and even conduct conversations. Besides being able to respond to commands regarding weather and sports updates, it can now offer more comprehensive answers, including dinner recipe suggestions and new information about your destination. According to a recent press release, Mercedes-Benz aims to make its voice control systems “more intuitive” with the integration of ChatGPT.
