Volkswagen, in collaboration with software company Cerence, unveiled its latest innovations at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The German automaker showcased its new voice assistant, powered by ChatGPT, and the redesigned Golf model.
The integration of ChatGPT into Volkswagen’s voice assistance software allows users in North America and Europe to control various features of their vehicles through voice commands. The updated voice assistant can control in-car entertainment and answer general questions from passengers. In the future, the system will also be able to engage in conversations with drivers and communicate in other ways. Volkswagen plans to make ChatGPT available to customers through over-the-air updates.
One of the key advantages of the voice assistant is its ability to personalize the driving experience without the need for physical buttons. Users can adjust their seats, control the vehicle’s temperature, and even receive restaurant recommendations based on their food preferences. Volkswagen is the first volume car manufacturer to offer this technology, which will be featured in several models including the ID4, Tiguan, and the upcoming Golf.
The redesigned Golf, showcased at the CES event, introduced several upgrades to the popular compact car. It features new headlights, bumpers, and a larger touch screen in the infotainment system. The touch-sensitive buttons on the steering wheel have also been redesigned. The exterior of the Golf received minor aesthetic changes, including new lights and bumpers, as well as the addition of the illuminated company emblem. The front bumpers now feature small elements in the body color resembling hockey sticks. Volkswagen has not disclosed any specific changes to the engine lineup.
While Volkswagen introduced the Golf at the CES event, it is worth noting that this will be the last Golf model with conventional engines. The company plans to release an all-electric successor in 2028. The latest Golf demonstrates Volkswagen’s commitment to innovative technologies and advancements in vehicle connectivity and personalization.
With the integration of ChatGPT and the redesigned Golf, Volkswagen aims to enhance the driving experience and provide customers with convenient and intuitive features. By leveraging artificial intelligence and voice commands, Volkswagen is paving the way for future advancements in automotive technology. The voice assistant and redesigned Golf are set to revolutionize the way drivers interact with their vehicles, offering a seamless and personalized driving experience.
