Mercedes-Benz has already launched its own generative AI program in its vehicles. It was released last month and relies on ChatGPT and Microsoft Bing. In the Mercedes, the system is used to improve the voice recognition system to understand more phrases as well as provide answers to other seemingly random questions.
