General Motors (GM) is set to introduce an artificial intelligence (AI) vehicle assistant service, initially implemented in the Cadillac Lyriq electric SUV, with plans to expand to other models.
On October 21, during the 'GM Forward' event held in New York, GM announced its plans to integrate AI into its global connectivity service, OnStar, through a new feature called 'OnStar AI' and a new mobile app.
OnStar AI allows drivers to control vehicle functions and receive information about vehicle status and usage through natural language voice commands. Drivers can adjust the interior temperature or check the driving range and charging stops to their destination using voice commands.
GM will first introduce OnStar AI in the Cadillac Lyriq through over-the-air (OTA) software updates and plans to expand it to other vehicles.
In 2027, GM will launch a new OnStar mobile app that allows users to access various information from outside the vehicle. This app will integrate existing mobile apps for Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC, and Buick.
The new app will feature a 'Connected Camera' that records specific situations and sends notifications, as well as an 'OnStar Family' function that supports destination sharing and vehicle management among family members. Users will be able to set the range of data sharing, including camera and location information.
GM will also introduce 'OnStar Fleet Intelligence' for corporate vehicle operators, which integrates management of vehicle status, maintenance, fuel, and energy usage, enhancing operational efficiency through AI.
Additionally, GM unveiled its 'Concept Horizon,' envisioning the use of vehicle interiors as spaces for work, relaxation, and leisure in the era of autonomous driving. The company also presented future scenarios where autonomous vehicles could perform everyday tasks, such as picking up groceries or laundry.
