Audi is implementing the AI-based chatbot ChatGPT via the Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service into its infotainment system, thereby expanding voice control. Starting in July this year, customers in around 2 million Audi models from the 2021 model year, which are equipped with the third-generation modular infotainment platform (MIB 3), will be able to have researched content read out loud while driving and interact with the car in natural language. New vehicles such as the Q6 e-tron and future models with the E3 1.2 electronics architecture will receive ChatGPT via Cerence Chat Pro as an extension of the Audi assistant.
New Possibilities
The integration of ChatGPT offers a variety of possibilities that go beyond previous voice control. With the enhanced voice control, infotainment, navigation, and climate control can be managed, or general knowledge questions can now be asked. The ability to query information in natural language makes driving safer, as traffic can be kept in view at all times. ChatGPT is provided via the Azure OpenAI Service. The basis for this new feature for Audi customers is the Chat Pro solution from Cerence Inc. with a ChatGPT integration in automotive quality.
Vehicle responds to everyday questions
With the new E3 1.2 electronic architecture models, which debuted in the new Q6 e-tron, Audi is expanding the existing self-learning voice assistant, the Audi assistant. Passengers can activate the assistant as usual with "Hey Audi" or using the push-to-talk button on the steering wheel and ask the desired question. The Audi assistant automatically recognizes whether a vehicle function should be executed, a destination searched for, or, for example, a weather forecast retrieved. Only when the system, for example, cannot answer general knowledge questions, are these forwarded to ChatGPT. For drivers, this happens seamlessly, as all functions are integrated into the Audi assistant. According to Audi, data security is a high priority. To ensure the best possible data protection, questions and answers are deleted after processing. Additionally, ChatGPT never has access to vehicle data.
Future potential: Benefiting from new AI possibilities
In the future, it will be possible to ask questions about the vehicle, such as the correct tire pressure. The use of so-called large language models, for example from Cerence, makes this and many other use cases possible.
AI can also be used to optimize company processes. For example, as a creative impulse in design or in production to support quality control. The latest applications include an AI for checking weld points in body construction and AI-based crack detection in the press shop.
