ChatGPT be coming to a pickup truck near you.
General Motors, in partnership with Microsoft, is exploring ways to integrate the AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT in its vehicles. GM Vice President Scott Miller has claimed that "ChatGPT is going to be in everything," and the automaker is angling to lead the charge.
So far, potential ChatGPT applications in cars and trucks include programming your garage door opener for you and managing in-vehicle information systems, like your calendar.
GM is also looking to make ChatGPT-powered owner's manuals. So when you're getting an oil change, a technician might ask your car directly what type of oil it needs.
AI could monitor your driving and body, preventing drivers from falling asleep, helping them park or alerting for blind spots.
We'll have to wait and see whether it's a savvy navigator or an annoying backseat driver.
