Oh yeah, this doesn’t sound dangerously suspicious at all.
Volkswagen has been talking up ChatGPT integration for months, but it’s finally here and promises to improve the ownership experience. The technology can be found on all members of the ID. family as well as in the new Golf, Tiguan and Passat.
Instead of typing, ChatGPT is accessed by using the IDA voice assistant. While the latter enables owners to control a variety of features, such as the climate control system and navigation system, ChatGPT promises to “go far beyond” that. more
I’m sorry, I can’t let you apply the brakes…Dave.
Imagine when corporate leadership decides to lay off all their engineers an try using “AI” to do the design and perform the analysis for them.
It will make the Trabant look like a luxury performance car.

I already do battle with the GPS on the work truck doing pickups and deliveries.
Talking back will only make it worse.
Completely off topic but an inspirational story –

My company is about to embark on this AI bullshit in the worst way. Not looking forward to sweeping up the aftermath.

Whew! Got all dusty up in here!

My ’69 Beetle runs like a champ. In spite of the weak sauce they call “gasoline” these days.

Corn belongs on your plate or in your Bourbon.
NOT in your gas tank!
Why is every automaker in a race to make the most gayest possible car?
ChatGPT?
Garbage.
I’ve reached saturation with all the tech now in automobiles. They’re all trying to outdo each other with who can cram the most tech-wizardry and gadgets into their products. I have a 2017 Honda Accord, sport-special edition. Fine car. Thankfully, it does NOT have the gawd-awful Honda touch screen and other crap. My wife’s new Honda Pilot is loaded out; I can’t stand it for the most part. Constant interference with your driving experience – things popping up on the dash screen all the time. Nine speed transmission that cannot decide which gear it wants to be in, so you hit the gas and it just revs, then jerks and clunks when you slow down. Who the fk needs a 9 speed transmission? And it doesn’t have a gear shift lever of any sort – Honda has these ridiculous buttons on the top of the center console. Incredibly stupid design and location, nothing intuitive or familiar to grab so you can just put it in gear; you have to look down and make sure you’re pushing the correct button. Navigating the audio is a hazard while driving.
Those key-fobs that you can just leave in your purse or pocket, with “perimeter sensing” activation – totally stupid. I walked behind this vehicle once when it was parked in the garage – the garage door was down with about a foot of clearance – and my foot activated the sensor under the rear bumper, which opened the rear hatch, which nearly pinned me against the garage door.
It’s all going to end up with total monitoring and surveillance while you’re driving YOUR car. My next car will likely be something older, something very low-tech. Give me back my Kenwood tape deck with knobs and switches and some Jensen tri-axials and leave me the fk alone.
Remember when you had too push the the thingy to the floor to change gears.
I have an 2018 Audi Q3 Premium. It botches all voice commands.
