The artificial intelligence service provides a ‘conversational experience’ to drivers, enhancing their journey with its voice-activated DS Iris infotainment system. Available to 20,000 owners of select DS models, this feature can be instantly activated remotely. It enables interaction with a variety of functions via speech recognition, even capable of creating quizzes or children’s stories. With a no-extra-cost offer for initial subscribers, this development aligns with Stellantis’ strategic focus and the Dare Forward 2030 strategy.

This integration transforms the DS Iris System into a knowledgeable digital assistant. This new feature enhances the conventional voice recognition capabilities and adds a high-tech dimension to travel. It is available on all DS Automobiles models equipped with the DS Iris System.

ChatGPT: transforming the driving experience
ChatGPT works in collaboration with the DS Iris System, providing drivers with a unique onboard experience.

ChatGPT: the future auto companion
ChatGPT’s integration into DS Automobiles marks a high-tech revolution in the industry. Not only does it provide practical benefits, such as asking questions and receiving suggestions on places to visit or recipes to try, but it also offers a unique appeal by transforming each trip into a new discovery. However, DS Automobiles emphasises that ChatGPT’s responses may not always be accurate, correct, or objective.
