How Chat GPT will benefit the driver?
Automakers aim for their vehicles to be more than just a means of transportation, providing a more intuitive experience. With this technology, drivers won't be limited to simple commands like "What's the weather forecast for New Delhi?" or "Play an AR Rahman song." They can now engage in real, informal conversations. For example, imagine driving your Q8 e-tron and asking about Virat Kohli's performance in the T20 World Cup Finals against South Africa.
Informal conversations with the driver will result in a better understanding of the driver, and Audi is moving in that direction by utilizing Microsoft Azure OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT. In the future, Cerence Chat Pro will play the role of a bridge to bring these systems closer together.
What did the VP of Audi say?
The Vice President of of interior, infotainment, and connectivity development at Audi, Marcus Keith says With the seamless integration of ChatGPT into our voice control, we are combining the strengths of both applications. To add more, he said "In addition to a range of voice-controlled functions, our customers will now benefit from simple and secure access to AI-based knowledge. This is the next step towards a best-in-class in-cabin experience in Audi vehicles."
Starting in July, ChatGPT will be available for over 2 million Audi cars using the Audi E3 1.2 electronics architecture.
