Generative AI is coming to your car

The same technology that puts artificial intelligence chatbots on your phone and computer is coming to the car. Having a powerful voice assistant at a time when you can't afford to take your eyes off the road could be enormously beneficial. Qualcomm announced it is bringing its next-generation Oryon processor to its in-car computer systems for both entertainment and automated driving. Generative AI in the car will ideally let drivers get help with everything from finding the nearest cheap gas to pointing out landmarks to understanding a dashboard warning light. However, despite efforts already underway, genAI in the car will take some time to arrive. Carmakers design new models years before they arrive in the showroom.
