Mercedes-Benz is set to integrate the AI chatbot ChatGPT into its infotainment systems, starting with the MBUX in-car voice control system. The move is aimed towards improving the level of interaction between drivers and passengers with the car’s infotainment system, and making voice commands more intuitive and conversational. ChatGPT provides Natural Language Understanding (NLU) capabilities for voice commands, meaning the car’s infotainment system will interpret and understand voice commands more accurately. This would allow drivers and passengers to interact with the infotainment system using more natural language.
The AI chatbot will allow drivers to have more improved and contextual suggestions while driving. The current offerings of the MBUX allow users to control smart home devices, and ChatGPT will offer it too. ChatGPT can also suggest new recipes for dinner, provide more in-depth details on destinations, and suggest appropriate music, podcasts, and audiobooks based on user preferences. It can also monitor fuel/oil levels, tire pressures, sensors, etc., and notify the user about potential issues proactively. The beta program will run for three months, during which data privacy will be upheld. ChatGPT is expected to keep learning and updating as users interact with it, providing more accurate and in-depth information over time.
Mercedes-Benz is the first car manufacturer to add ChatGPT into its infotainment system, and will likely not be the last. The new ChatGPT integration will go a long way toward improving in-car user experience, making voice commands more natural and contextually relevant.
