Automakers Want To Charge You More With AI - Jalopnik

Automakers are pushing plans to put more AI into future vehicles, with the stated goal of making cars “more personalized” and, ultimately, more profitable. The report says General Motors began rolling out Google Gemini in roughly 4 million U.S. vehicles from the 2022 model year onward, with an in-house assistant integration planned later. Ford, meanwhile, offers an AI assistant via its smartphone app and plans to launch an in-vehicle version in 2027 for the Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs. It adds that BMW is integrating Amazon’s AI, Volkswagen has brought ChatGPT to its voice assistant, and Mercedes-Benz and Google have partnered on an AI system. AutoPacific’s Paul Waatti argues proper integration can understand vehicle states and functions.
