At CES 2024, Amazon and BMW announced a partnership to significantly improve the pre-existing experience, marrying a large language model (LLM) with Alexa and the actual driver’s manual. The end result? You can ask the Alexa-powered chatbot anything about your car and receive accurate real-time information. That’s right. That thick and unwieldy manual can stay in the glovebox, for good.

Wonder what the monthly subscription is for the GPT wrapper when they already charge a packet to use the heated seats 😅

I don’t need cute, I need practical. Turn heat on to 88. Drive me to X. What’s the weather where I’m going. The examples are a joke 😊

Pretty soon you'll need a subscription plan to even start up your car.

Only training the model on "verified data" does not preclude hallucinations.

I took my iDrive 6 BMW in for service this past week, and was given a G20 330i with iDrive 8. It's an absolute mess of an user experience. They really ruined it with putting all main ac controls into the infotainment and plastering a mess of apps onto the home screen. Big yikes.

damn bmws ux really is so freaking bad they need a gpt wrapper to make up for it. Couldve used all that llm power to instead help them code an interface that isnt complete dogwater :v

This is so cool! This technology is going to make it really hard to switch car brands especially if you get attached to your cars AI.
