Meanwhile, Volkswagen took a bigger leap in automotive AI: integrating ChatGPT into its in-car voice assistant that gives a more intuitive and intelligent way for drivers to interface with their vehicle. This will be an enhanced version running off the IDA of Cerence’s Chat Pro platform, enabling natural and conversational exchanges rather than just simple-transaction voice command systems.
Drivers can wake up IDA with “Hello IDA,” then ask her everything from a variety of subjects. From giving updates on the weather to suggesting restaurants in the vicinity, to even playing trivia games, IDA is designed to make everyday commutes more enjoyable and fun. Going into the future, Volkswagen’s artificial intelligence will respond not just to normal in-car commands for navigation and media but also to broader, more complex requests for an easier driving experience that is a lot less distracting.

It includes data privacy among its major features. Whatever information is shared with IDA remains private, and once the session with the driver is considered complete, details of that session are deleted to preserve personal data. In this way, it falls in line with the increasing trend of consumer demand for more privacy as regards smart technologies.
Starting from 2025, Volkswagen will include it in their cars as they confirm their position in technology-based functionalities of the automotive industry. In this regard, Volkswagen joins the competition in smart vehicle technology characterized by global car makers racing to develop advanced AI features to give drivers safety as well as comfort. This makes it clear that auto-industry is very fast in integrating into its manufacturing process more advanced artificial intelligence not only for moving people around but also for pleasant driving experience. The integration of ChatGPT with a Volkswagen vehicle was merely an introduction to what can be expected from connected AI-powered cars of tomorrow where communication between man and machine will be easy and fluid.
