Stellantis and Mistral AI are deepening their collaboration to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) across multiple domains, from vehicle engineering to in-car experiences and manufacturing. By leveraging Mistral AI’s expertise in large language models (LLMs) and AI-driven automation, Stellantis aims to enhance efficiency, innovation, and customer satisfaction across its ecosystem.
Transforming the In-Car Experience with AI
One of the most exciting initiatives in this partnership is the introduction of an advanced in-car AI assistant. Designed to function as an intelligent, voice-enabled user manual, this assistant will provide real-time, conversational support for drivers. Instead of searching through traditional manuals, users can simply ask questions and receive immediate, relevant guidance in a natural and interactive manner.
This AI-powered assistant will be continuously updated to stay aligned with the latest Stellantis models and features. Its adaptability ensures that it provides accurate assistance regardless of the specific brand or vehicle model, creating a seamless and intuitive experience for Stellantis customers worldwide.
AI-Driven Innovation in Vehicle Engineering and Development
Beyond enhancing in-car experiences, Stellantis and Mistral AI are exploring several cutting-edge AI applications across vehicle development and manufacturing. These initiatives are set to streamline operations, improve product quality, and enhance efficiency.
