Mercedes-Benz takes in-car voice control to a new level with ChatGPT

It doesn't really sound like it'll be able to do anything dangerous. "Hey Mercedes" can do home control, but I'm not sure most smart home systems can harm anyone. Thermostats usually have safety ranges, so you can't set one to, say, heat a home to 110 degrees.

From the article:

> "Mercedes-Benz combines the best of both worlds ['Hey Mercedes' and ChatGPT'], enhancing the validated data of MBUX Voice Assistant with the more natural dialogue format of ChatGPT. Users will experience a voice assistant that not only accepts natural voice commands but can also conduct conversations. Soon, 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."
