Earlier this month, Volkswagen showcased vehicles with an integrated AI chatbot, ChatGPT, within its IDA voice assistant at CES 2024. The integration, powered by Cerence Chat Pro, will be a standard feature in many production vehicles from the second quarter of 2024. Volkswagen and Cerence are planning to collaborate on designing a new large-language-model-based user experience for the next generation of in-car assistants.
Key takeaways:
- Volkswagen has established an 'artificial intelligence lab' to create advanced digital prototypes and revolutionize products through collaboration with international tech firms.
- The AI lab will operate independently, not housed within Volkswagen's software unit Cariad or any specific brand, to expedite development processes.
- Volkswagen recently showcased vehicles with an integrated AI chatbot, ChatGPT, within its IDA voice assistant at CES 2024, promising to expand this feature in the future.
- Volkswagen and technology partner Cerence Inc. are exploring further collaboration to design a new large-language-model-based user experience for the next generation of in-car assistants.
