Among other things, the automaker envisions the digital assistant to support drivers in situations where they may have turned to their vehicle’s owner’s manual in the past.

GM is reportedly working on adding a “car-specific layer” on top of the large language models that power ChatGPT. The effort is part of a broader collaboration between the automaker and Microsoft. In 2019, the two will work on autonomous vehicles. Microsoft is from OpenAI, which means GM’s in-car assistant will almost certainly run on Azure. GM did not say Traffic lights if he still has a name for the software, nor did he share a possible release date.
