Stellantis is increasing its collaboration with French-based technology startup Mistral AI to deploy advanced artificial intelligence technologies in the vehicle, engineering and manufacturing industries. The car manufacturer announced it in a press release on February 7th. Stellantis and Mistral AI are working together in the project. In-vehicle assistants that support natural conversational interactions also serve as an interactive user manual for the vehicle. It will be continuously updated and adaptable across Stellantis brands and vehicle models. The deployment of more robust generation AI across a variety of industries was spurred by the launch of a Chat GPT demo in November 2022, which was considered a major breakthrough. Rapid advances in AI are now poised to transform the automotive industry, making vehicles more interactive and helping automakers improve efficiency in many areas of their business.

Stellantis says he has been working closely with Mistral AI for over a year on a variety of technology projects, including data analysis and sales for fleets. Among the initiatives, startup expertise in large-scale language models (LLMS) is what car manufacturers analyze large datasets to improve manufacturing quality, reduce development time and increase customer satisfaction We support you.
“This partnership is a key step in our commitment to making Genai more accessible and valuable,” said Arthur Mensch, CEO and co-founder of the release.
AI-powered assistants allow Stellantis customers to ask questions about vehicle features and receive immediate guidance through conversational interactions. Answers may include the meaning of warning indicators or how to troubleshoot vehicle issues.
Stellantis has also launched a chatbot for French employees called the “Club Stellantis Virtual Assistant.” The assistant supports voice queries in multiple languages. This says Stellantis is key to a planned rollout across Europe.
Outside of in-vehicle technology, Stellantis is working with Mistral AI to develop “Material Data Intelligence,” which uses AI to streamline the analysis of complex component databases. For example, a chatbot powered by Mistral AI technology will help Stellantis engineers decide on the best part to maximize reuse and efficiency, according to the release.
Mistral AI provides Stellantis with vehicle feedback analysis to use AI to process data from the development fleet of automobile manufacturers to quickly identify potential issues and improve vehicle quality. Masu.
Stellantis says it will evaluate Mistral AI’s edge computing model to detect manufacturing errors in real time and take corrective action before components are installed on vehicles on the assembly line.
“There are many players in the AI space. We are particularly pleased because we have the ability to work with Mistral AI to adapt quickly and drive meaningful results very collaboratively,” the release said. . “Together, we are investigating the possibilities of AI across several domains to enhance product development, customer experience and provide real benefits.”
Other automakers are working to integrate AI technology into vehicles and operations, including Mercedes-Benz and the Volkswagen Group. In June 2023, Mercedes-Benz became the first automaker to integrate a demo version of ChatGPT into the MBUX Voice Assistant.
At CES in January 2024, Volkswagen demonstrated an in-vehicle voice assistant powered by the AI of an ID.7 electric sedan, developed in collaboration with ID.7 Software Company Cerence. Generated AI is used to enable drivers and passengers to use voice to control vehicle functions.
Last September, Volkswagen announced that it would deploy Google’s generation AI capabilities to its vehicle owner app to provide smoother access to important information.
