Drivers can now ask their Opel about topics like science, pop culture, and music just by saying "Hey Opel." The system uses generative artificial intelligence developed by OpenAI to provide sophisticated and precise answers.
This new feature aims to make travel more enjoyable, especially during common challenges like long trips with kids, exploring a new city, or being stuck in traffic. ChatGPT can create quizzes, suggest restaurants based on personal preferences, and even offer routing to chosen destinations.
The AI assistant also serves as an on-the-go encyclopedia. It can provide information about artists when you're listening to music or tell you about actors in movies you're discussing.
Opel has made ChatGPT available in several models including the Mokka, Grandland, Corsa, Astra, Astra Sports Tourer, Combo, Zafira, and the Vivaro light commercial vehicle. For new purchases, it comes as part of the Connect PLUS package. Existing customers can add it as an on-demand feature.
"We're excited to offer this advanced AI technology to our customers," an Opel spokesperson said. "ChatGPT will enhance the travel experience by providing instant access to a wealth of information and entertainment options."
