Volkswagen announced the addition of ChatGPT to its recent vehicles, complementing their own IDA assistant.
It brings a remarkable change in the way drivers and passengers can interact with their vehicles, answering a myriad of questions, starting route guidance or solving mathematical problems.
Take aways:
- Introduction of ChatGPT: Recently, Volkswagen announced the addition of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in its vehicles. The AI chatbot is accessible on all recent models, including the new Golf, new Tiguan and the new Passat. This service can answer several questions and provide route guidance.
- Service Accessibility: To use ChatGPT, drivers and passengers are not required to install any distinct app. It is integrated into IDA. All they need to do is connect their vehicles with VW Connect or Connect Plus.
- Privacy and Security: While ChatGPT enhances the driving experience by answering a range of questions, it does not access vehicle data. Moreover, the AI is not trained on the user’s questions, and these are immediately deleted once they disappear from the screen.
