AI in cars

Kia announced they will be releasing a voice activated AI assistant for their cars in Europe.

Users can ask Kia’s AI Assistant virtually anything. They can even start by asking the system exactly what services it can provide by saying: “Hey Kia, tell me what you can do.”

So you can ask your car to help prep for your upcoming job interview or where to get the best falafel on your way from the airport.

A couple of things to note here:

• Normalisation of voice interaction with AI
• Generic GenAI supply (ChatGPT style generic interface) in familiar environment (car).
