ChatGPT Will Appear On Mercedes-Benz Cars For The USA
Mercedes-Benz owners in the US will be able to use ChatGPT. The chatbot will act as an addition to the main assistant. It knows how to maintain a natural dialogue and give detailed answers to any questions. Beta testing will last three months. The results will be analyzed and used to further improve the language model.
Owners of Mercedes-Benz vehicles with MBUX voice assistant support who wish to participate in the testing program will need to download the appropriate software update. The automaker estimates that up to 900,000 car owners will be able to test the feature in the US. Voice requests that they will form as part of interaction with the MBUX on-board virtual assistant will be able to be processed by the ChatGPT chat bot by integrating the service with Microsoft’s specialized cloud infrastructure, which provides support to the developer represented by OpenAI.
The German company hopes that integration with ChatGPT will help make the responses of the on-board MBUX assistant more natural. In addition, the driver will be able to ask questions that are not related to the control functions of the vehicle’s on-board systems.
The data will be stored in an anonymous form somewhere on a cloud server, using it only for ranking. Based on the information received, they will develop a strategy for deploying generative language models in other markets, and in addition, the company will have a deep understanding of in which direction to develop a voice assistant.
