Feature Request: ChatGPT Integration for Cars (“CarGPT”)
Dear OpenAI Team,
My name is Manu, and I’m a longtime ChatGPT user from Romania. I wanted to share an idea that I think could become one of the most exciting ways to use AI in everyday life.
I would love to see an official ChatGPT for cars—something similar to how Tesla integrates Grok, but available across different manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Ford, Toyota, and others.
Imagine getting into your car and saying:
“Hey ChatGPT.”
The assistant could help with:
- Navigation and finding destinations.
- Recommending nearby restaurants, gas stations, or clothing stores.
- Controlling music and podcasts.
- Answering questions naturally during long drives.
- Explaining dashboard warning lights in plain language.
- Reading vehicle information such as fuel level, battery status, or tire pressure (when supported by the vehicle).
- Planning road trips with charging or fuel stops.
- Remembering user preferences for routes, music, and destinations.
One feature I’d especially enjoy would be giving ChatGPT a custom name, just as I jokingly call mine “Dumbman.” Having a personalized AI co-driver would make the experience feel much more natural and enjoyable.
I know this would require partnerships with automotive manufacturers, but I truly believe AI assistants in cars are the future. ChatGPT’s conversational abilities would make driving safer, more productive, and a lot more enjoyable.
Thank you for creating such an amazing product and for continuously improving it. I hope you’ll consider this idea in the future.
Kind regards,
Manu
