It is a fact that ChatGPT has marked the particular starting signal so that more companies launch their own artificial intelligences. It is true that the specter of the ban in Europe hovers over OpenAI, but at the moment more and more manufacturers are betting on this intelligence. AND now it is the turn of Mercedes-Benz.
Yes, the emblematic German car brand has fallen in love with the effectiveness of ChatGPT. And, as reported by The Verge, Mercedes-Benz is testing ChatGPT as a voice assistant for its fleet of cars.
The idea of the German company is that the driver can interact with this conversational intelligence by asking questions related to the trip, although it will also be used for anything else.
Mercedes-Benz bets on ChatGPT
The truth is that it looks really good. For example, we can ask ChatGPT the time left until we reach our destinationto help us find a gas station nearby, restaurants to eat.
It will also function as the conversational intelligence that it is, since Mercedes-Benz is not going to impose any type of limitation. In this way, we can really ask him what we want, from cooking recipes to explaining how a combustion engine like the one in our brand new car works.

As indicate Microsoft and Mercedes-Benz in press release “With the three-month beta program, Mercedes-Benz customers can become early adopters of this innovative technology.
