'Hey Mercedes' - Mercedes-Benz Brings ChatGPT To In-Car Voice Control

Mercedes Benz Group AG MBGAF plans to expand the use of artificial intelligence by integrating ChatGPT into the voice control of its vehicles as the next step.

The company said drivers could add ChatGPT and use the in-car voice control service via the MBUX Voice Assistant's "Hey Mercedes."

Mercedes-Benz will leverage Microsoft Corporation's MSFT Azure OpenAI Service to integrate ChatGPT.
