Not only would drivers be able to set up maintenance appointments, but they could also ask ChatGPT for assistance when it comes to changing a tire, for example, or finding a nearby EV charger.
Of course, like all new gimmicks, this could prove distracting, and some owners may be more interested in playing with the AI functionality than driving. This makes us wonder if this technology should be limited to autonomous cars, but we can imagine this rolling out in the Cadillac Lyriq sometime soon.
The technology could also eradicate the need for mobile phones while driving. Current infotainment systems rely heavily on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which mirrors the user’s smartphone onto the screen. We’ve already seen signs of the phone becoming irrelevant in infotainment systems, so this may be the next step in that direction.
