Peugeot, a brand under Stellantis company, intends to utilize ChatGPT to enhance the voice assistant in its cars and small trucks.
The French brand is joining competitors such as Volkswagen and Mercedes in utilizing the famous artificial intelligence chatbot.
Jerome Micheron, Peugeot’s product plan manager, announced in a press conference, « We are introducing ChatGPT in all our cars, including the new e-3008 model and small commercial vehicles. »
BigO plans to launch a trial version of the ChatGPT service, capable of interacting with car control devices and answering various general or navigation-related questions in five countries: France, Britain, Germany, Italy, and Spain.
It is scheduled for the integrated service in the i-Cockpit digital dashboard to become one of the main advantages this year.
Mercedes began experimenting last year with allowing drivers to use ChatGPT, claiming that the artificial intelligence chatbot helps provide natural responses and handle various inquiries, such as destination details and dinner suggestions.
Earlier this month, Volkswagen announced that it will be integrating its voice assistant with ChatGPT by mid-year in order to facilitate interactive dialogue with drivers.
TomTom collaborated with Microsoft to develop an AI-powered voice assistant that allows drivers to have natural conversations with their cars, enabling them to inquire about specific rest stops along the road or increase the temperature.
Peugeot also announced that they are offering a new eight-year warranty for the e-3008 car, compared to the current two-year warranty on their cars, in an effort to encourage more drivers to switch to electric vehicles.
This optional service covers the electrical engine, charger, transmission set, electrical and mechanical components for a distance of up to 160,000 kilometers or a duration of up to 8 years.
Peugeot reiterated its goal of introducing a range of electric vehicles by the end of 2024 and the company is on track to achieve this objective, as it plans to launch twelve electric cars by the end of the year.
Car manufacturing companies collect a large amount of data about drivers and passengers. According to a privacy report issued by Mozilla in September 2023, almost every modern car shares or sells this data.
This data includes details such as distance traveled and geographic location, and cars also collect information about nearby passengers, pedestrians, and much more. Often, this data reaches data brokers.
