MBUX (The Mercedes-Benz User eXperience) is a well-known Linux-based infotainment system optimized for vehicles. The voice assistant can listen to information about the weather or sports, and even control the smart home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this application of ChatGPT, you can now speak naturally instead of having to read a set command. I can understand the context of the question I am asking, so I can give more complex answers. When we move, we have a purpose. You can also ask for information about your destination or what to do on an empty schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joining is as simple as saying \u201cHey Mercedes, I want to join the beta program\u201d to the car, and the beta test will run for three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcd5 Editor's Notes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It develops when there is no alternative and there is value. Hands are difficult to use when controlling a car. Even if autonomous driving becomes possible, sitting in the driver's seat and controlling it using physical elements or screens is reassuring and comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to be more comfortable than now, it would be the direction to not use your hands. After everything turns into a screen, the concept of a driver's seat may disappear altogether. In future mobility interfaces, verbal commands come to mind rather than pressing buttons on a remote control or touching a fixed screen or smartphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In mobility, will Tesla become Apple and OpenAI become Android? The future of VUI is exciting. However, I hope it will not be added as much as the paid subscription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
