Recently, Volkswagen announced that models equipped with the new generation of infotainment systems in overseas markets have integrated ChatGPT artificial intelligence. This AI-based search tool is available for all new models in the pure electric ID. series, as well as new models like the Golf, Tiguan, and Passat.
This means users can control the infotainment, navigation, and air conditioning systems through voice commands, while also enjoying more intelligent interactive features. For example, the AI can provide information on tourist attractions, report on past football matches, or assist with math problems.
Although Volkswagen has showcased its smart capabilities in overseas markets, ChatGPT is currently not available for use in China, so this feature is likely to only appear in Volkswagen's overseas models. At CES 2024, Volkswagen demonstrated the first batch of cars integrating ChatGPT into the IDA voice assistant. Currently, the technology supports system languages such as English (US), English (UK), Spanish, Czech, and German.
Despite Volkswagen's progress in智能化, data shows that the group's sales and operating profit for the first quarter of 2024 have declined year-on-year. This indicates that the investment in智能化 may have incurred additional costs, and market demand and competition also put pressure on profitability. Therefore, Volkswagen needs to strike a balance between智能化 and cost control to maintain competitive advantage and profitability.
Key Points:
⭐️ Volkswagen's overseas new cars integrate ChatGPT artificial intelligence, including ID series, Golf, etc.
⭐️ ChatGPT artificial intelligence provides intelligent interactive features for pure electric ID. series and new models like Golf, Tiguan, Passat, etc.
