Mercedes-Benz vehicles are known for their quiet cabins, but things are going to get a little louder in them soon. The luxury automaker has announced that it is launching a software update that will bring ChatGPT into its vehicles through a collaboration with the Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service., starting on June 16. The feature will be integrated into the MBUX infotainment system, which already offers a wide array of voice commands through the "Hey, Mercedes" voice assistant feature. ChatGPT will allow occupants to have "conversations with natural dialogues and follow-up questions" with the generative artificial intelligence platform. A beta version of Mercedes-Benz's ChatGPT voice assistant is launching on June 16.

When the new Mercedes EQS sedan hits the road next year, it will feature a new and improved version of the automaker's MBUX infotainment called the MBUX Hyperscreen as an optional upgrade. The company says the ultrawide screen spans the entire front dashboard of the upcoming EV and adds AI to the mix to make using the system more intuitive. The automaker will detail the infotainment at its upcoming CES press conference, which is slated to start at 11AM ET on January 11th. Several executives, including the company's head of advanced digital design, will be on hand to talk about the design. Unfortunately, the stream won't be open to the public, but we'll have you covered with all the details after the event.
