GPT: A Custom Language Model Chatbot for Vehicular Automation Applications and its Implications for Google’s Assistant and Amazon’s Alexa

VW insisted that ChatGPT did not gain any access to any vehicle data, while questions and answers were deleted immediately.

ChatGPT and other large language model chatbots have been known to serve up false information, and OpenAI is being targeted in a number of defamation and copyright infringement lawsuits.

Most vehicle voice assistants are able to turn on seat heaters or window defrosters, but they don’t know how to ask more complicated questions and fall short of more complex requests. False positives and the need to vocally repeat instructions are common. Many automakers are relying on options from third-party developers like Google’s Assistant and Amazon’s Alexa.

Last year, OpenAI promised to release a platform where it would be possible to make custom version of the chatggt. These AI agents, which OpenAI is calling GPTs, will be accessible through the company’s GPT Store.
