✨ From Beta Program to Series Production: AI-enhanced #MBUX Voice Assistant Mercedes-Benz takes in-car conversations to the next level with our enhanced MBUX Voice Assistant, now featuring AI-powered knowledge capabilities. Starting today, over three million Mercedes-Benz vehicles globally will receive this free update, marking our transition from last year's ChatGPT-integrated Beta Feature to full series production implementation. The intelligent system leverages ChatGPT and Hey Mercedes with live search beta to deliver accurate, up-to-date responses to a wide range of queries—from pop culture to science and history. For example, the question could be: “How many Grammy awards has a certain artist won?” After receiving the answer, the user could add: “When was the first?” and the system would respond correctly as it already understands the background. Available in German, British English, and American English, this advancement represents another milestone in our journey toward hyper-personalized in-car experiences. Just say "#HeyMercedes" to start exploring a world of knowledge from behind the wheel. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ef2GxFT3 #MercedesBenz #MBRDNA #BetaProgram #AI
