Talk to your car as if it was a human assistant

Innovation in the automotive industry never stops, and Mercedes-Benz is proving it once again. The automotive giant is taking a bold technological step by integrating the power of ChatGPT's artificial intelligence into the voice control of its vehicles. For fans of automotive technology and voice chat systems, this news is particularly interesting.

Your car can be smarter then ever with OpenAI's ChatGPT

Upgrading the MBUX voice assistant with ChatGPT opens the door to a more fluid and natural interaction between driver and vehicle. Predefined voice commands are now a thing of the past. Thanks to ChatGPT, drivers will be able to have almost human conversations with their Mercedes, from navigation to dinner recipe recommendations.

It should be noted that this is a pilot project implemented on almost 900,000 of the automaker's vehicles in the United States. Tests ended early September 2023, but feedback has been positive and further implementation could be a fact pretty soon.

Also note that Mercedes already blew away everyone by announcing their Brain Computer Interface; a way to connect your mind to your car and control it with your thoughts.

AI in your car

Artificial intelligence has already begun to redefine the way we design and use automobiles. In modern cars, AI now powers many advanced driver assistance features, such as automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition and lane tracking. These systems use sensors, cameras and radar to collect data from the roadenvironment, which AI then analyzes in real time to assist the driver. Above all, AI is the brains behind the autopilot and semi-autonomous systems under development or already on the market, offering progressively higher levels of automation. In-car infotainment systems also use AI to offer personalized recommendations, recognize the driver's voice or even detect signs of fatigue. As technology advances, the integration of AI into our vehicles will continue to grow, paving the way for safer, more efficient and more intuitive driving.

Privacy and security

Mercedes-Benz takes data privacy and security very seriously. Using Microsoft'sAzure OpenAI service, all voice command data is stored, anonymized and analyzed in the Mercedes-Benz cloud.
