"Participants who ask the Voice Assistant for details about their destination, to suggest a new dinner recipe, or to answer a complex question, will receive a more comprehensive answer – while keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road," Mercedes-Benz said.
The feature will be available as a beta program to the 900,000 customers who currently have an MBUX-equipped vehicle.

"Customers know at all times what information is collected and for what purpose, and they are free to make their own decisions. Mercedes-Benz protects all customer data from manipulation and misuse," Mercedes-Benz said.

Owners can tell the voice assistant, "Hey Mercedes, I want to join the beta program," on Friday if they are interested in opting in, or sign up through the Mercedes me app.
Mercedes-Benz is the first automaker to launch a ChatGPT-based system, while several others, including General Motors, have said they are looking into developing similar features.
