Mercedes adds ChatGPT to the infotainment systems for some reason
ChatGPT will be available to Mercedes owners in the U.S. soon. OpenAI’s AI conversation agent will be added to the MBUX infotainment systems by Mercedes. However, it is not clear what this could be used for.
Owners of MBUX-equipped models in the U.S. will be able opt into a beta test program tomorrow, 16th June, to activate ChatGPT functionality. The highly versatile large-language model will be able to enhance the car’s ability to converse. To join, simply tell your car: \”Hey Mercedes! I want to be part of the beta program.\”
But it’s not clear for what. A car is an environment that’s pretty constrained. Voice interfaces are often the best and safest way to control the media, the basic functions of the car, and navigate without having to take your eyes off the road.
