Imagine a future where your new Chevy or Buick comes equipped with ChatGPT, a cutting-edge AI technology that acts as your personal assistant on the road. General Motors, in collaboration with Microsoft, is eager to make this a reality. “ChatGPT is going to be in everything,” said General Motors Vice President Scott Miller. No more flipping through bulky owner's manuals, as ChatGPT promises seamless access to information, from garage door codes to calendar schedule integrations, all with the power of voice. The fusion of automotive and AI technology brings us one step closer to a truly connected driving experience.
A GM spokesperson has revealed that future vehicles will be incredibly versatile and up-to-date with emerging technologies, transcending beyond just voice commands. The announcement followed a report suggesting that AI will eventually be utilized by nearly every business. This can be attributed to the rise of generative AI-engine tools and innovative data sets, which together offer advanced deep-learning potential in neural networks, previously thought to be exclusive to the human mind.
Emerging algorithms have the power to revolutionize commerce, payments, and business processes. Yet, their full impact and associated risks remain a mystery. Recent collaborations and funding rounds hint at the rise of a "fully connected car," merging entertainment, navigation, real-time data, diagnostics, and most importantly, the ability to make dashboard payments. This innovation could entice consumers to conduct a growing array of daily activities from their vehicles, where payments take center stage.
Mercedes-Benz is revving up the payment game by introducing Visa technology in selected German models, allowing drivers to make in-car payments seamlessly. With Mercedes pay+, users can access various digital services and connected-car goodies just through their fingertips, thanks to an integrated fingerprint sensor.
Dealers can also make use of AI to their advantage by using software that helps to disclose better using Artificial Lawyer Intelligence in automatically analyzing and properly disclosing using integrated information from Carfax and/or Autocheck reports.
