Volkswagen integrates ChatGPT into its vehicles

Volkswagen announced plans to incorporate AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT into its vehicles equipped with the IDA voice assistant. This announcement, made at CES 2024 in Las Vegas, signals Volkswagen's commitment to enhancing the driving experience through AI technology.

Scheduled for rollout in the second quarter of this year, starting in Europe, this integration will initially be available in Volkswagen's line of electric vehicles, including the ID.7, ID.4, ID.5, ID.3, as well as their new Tiguan, Passat, and Golf models. Drivers in the United States will have to wait, as Volkswagen has stated that the feature is still under consideration and undergoing internal approvals for this market.

ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, has gained significant attention in recent times, with Volkswagen emerging as the largest automaker to embrace this technology. It's important to note that Mercedes-Benz integrated the conversational AI bot into its MBUX infotainment system back in June.

The new estate-only Volkswagen Passat will cost from £38,480

Three trim levels will be available, all with DSG gearboxes and 1.5-litre engines to go with the restyled exterior and supremely dull interior

Following last summer’s reveal of the new estate-only, ninth-generation (wowza!) Passat, Volkswagen has now revealed prices will start from £38,480 for the entry-level ‘Life’ trim, which climbs to £42,830 for the range-topping ‘R-Line’. A trio of ‘Elegance’ models will also sit between the two, from £41,580.

All are supplied with Volkswagen’s six/seven-speed DSG gearbox and will be available with various 1.5-litre combustion and hybrid powertrains, drifting between 147 and 268bhp each.

Ze Germans also quite proudly claim this to be its most aerodynamic estate to date, with a drag-co-efficient of just 0.25. So it’s… economical? Ja! For the hybrid models, a 19.7 kWh battery is present to allow for a claimed 62 miles of zero-emission driving, which increases to as much as 620 when pre-historic dinosaur bones are thrown into the equation. See, economical.

The new Passat will also adopt VW’s modular transverse matrix platform (known as MQB evo), and sitting proudly above that is a completely redesigned body - though the headlights look to have been nicked from the G80 BMW M3. It’s both longer and wider than the previous generation. It also has even fewer physical buttons. For duck’s sake.
