DS has announced that it will be integrating the popular AI programme ChatGPT into its entire range of carsthe end of the year. ChatGPT is a generative artificial intelligence model that has been trained using vast amounts of text from the internet. It is capable of generating natural and fluid responses to questions and prompts, drawing on a wealth of online information to provide detailed and accurate answers.
The purpose of integrating ChatGPT into the cars is to complement DS’s existing voice recognition technology, offering drivers travel advice and information. For example, drivers can ask for recommendations on places to visit during their journey. Furthermore, ChatGPT can even create quizzes on favorite subjects or entertain children with stories during a road trip.
DS has made it convenient for drivers to access the AI’s capabilitiesintegrating it directly into the regular voice recognition system of their cars. This can be activated either through voice command orpressing a button on the steering wheel.
Yves Bonnefont, chief software officer of Stellantis (the company that owns DS, Citroen, Fiat, and Vauxhall), expressed fascination with ChatGPT’s ability to interact with users. He stated, “Its ability to interact is certainly one of the most striking applications of AI of the past year around the world.”
The ChatGPT feature will be available on all four of DS’s models that have the DS IRIS infotainment system. During a six-month pilot phase, the feature will be offered for free to the first 20,000 owners who request it.
By integrating ChatGPT into their cars, DS aims to enhance the travel experience for their customersproviding an intelligent and interactive assistant that can offer relevant information and entertainment throughout their journeys.
