Artificial intelligence (AI) is all the buzz these days, and it’s something consumers consider — pro and con — when buying a car. AI car technology is advancing at a blistering pace. So, in this week’s newsletter, we examine AI in cars and their infotainment systems. It has at least the theoretical potential to make car travel less stressful, safer, and more entertaining. Some of the technological advances are positively eye-popping, and AI is probably capable of things we have yet to realize.
ChatGPT’s initial dominance has been shaken by the arrival of Deep Seek in China, and others like Mistral in France are coming along, too. For now, it’s no longer whether a new car model has AI features, but how many and how much (and how well it works as promised). AI can help to make an HMI simulate an intelligent conversation partner and assistant. Through voice commands, the driver gets actively engaged in dialog with the vehicle, and gets actions based on context.
Friendly reminder, for those planning to be in the Shanghai – Hangzhou area two weeks from now, come attend the DVN-EAC cooperative event, on 4 – 6 June. Find the details here.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Sincerely yours,
