https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/8/24027112/volkswagen-chatgpt-openai-voice-assistant-cars-cesVolkswagen is jumping on the generative AI bandwagon by announcing plans to install OpenAIs ChatGPT into its vehicles starting in the second quarter of 2024.

VW is using ChatGPT to augment its IDA in-car voice assistant to enable more naturalistic communication between car and driver. Vehicle owners can use the new super-powered voice assistant to control basic functions, like heating and air conditioning, or to answer general knowledge questions. (Though, given ChatGPTs penchant for occasionally making stuff up, user discretion is advised.)
If youre scratching your head, wondering why you would possibly need ChatGPT in your car, VW says future functions may help prove its worth. Enriching conversations, clearing up questions, interacting in intuitive language, receiving vehicle-specific information, and much morepurely hands-free, the company says.
VW promises it wont force you to create a new account or install any apps. The chatbot can be activated by using the wake words Hello IDA or pressing a button on the steering wheel. And OpenAI isnt getting access to your driving stats, either. VW says questions and answers are deleted immediately to ensure the highest possible level of data protection.

What could go wrong, when you're using a chatbot that typically comes with disclaimers that it can hallucinate so you should check all results?
And in this case, maybe try to check them while driving...

Is about to become an accident liability issue.
On the other hand, you can ask your car if it's a Trump supporter before you buy it.
