ChatGPT was launched last year and took over the world as the most popular AI chatbot. Now, DS Automobiles, owned by Stellantis, has achieved a new feat in this world of artificial intelligence by integrating ChatGPT with its vehicles. This made DS Automobiles the first automotive company to integrate AI chatbot commands into vehicles. Stellantis announced the achievement in a press release and also highlighted the necessary requirements to access the position. Initially, ChatGPT will be offered to the first 20,000 registered users.
In an official announcement, Stallantis revealed that DS Automobiles has integrated the ChatGPT AI chatbot into its vehicles, providing users with accurate and instant answers. The AI chatbot works in the same way as Alexa or Siri in cars. The company will initially start with a pilot phase during the first six months, offering access to 20,000 registered users.
These users should use the DS 3, DS 4, DS 7 and DS 9 cars with an active DS IRIS system on board. To use the feature and talk to the DS IRIS system, users simply need to say “OK IRIS” by pressing the dedicated button on the steering wheel.
The integration of ChatGPT with DS IRIS SYSTEM will be available for six months at no additional cost to the first 20,000 registered users if they make a purchase in the above-mentioned car range between October 19 and February 29. To activate the system, users must contact the DS Services Store. In the pilot phase, the integration will only be available in European regions, including France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain and Italy. The feature will be available in the national languages of all these countries.
To recall, the ChatGPT AI chatbot was launched in November last year. It is now available for use in mobile apps and in web versions.
