Volkswagen has said that future vehicles it manufactures will include ChatGPT voice assistants. The announcement, made at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas today, will allow drivers to use the generative AI chatbot to control entertainment options and answer general knowledge questions. The integration will be available in the automaker’s compact segment vehicle range and debut initially in Europe.

ChatGPT will be used to supplement Volkswagen’s existing voice assistant, IDA. Motorists are already able to use that model to control features like air conditioning, but Volkswagen said in a statement that its collaboration with OpenAI will allow for more “enriching conversations” in “intuitive language” between the driver and their voice assistant. The automotive company claims to be the first in the industry to offer ChatGPT as a “standard feature” in its production vehicles.
