ChatGPT in connected and autonomous vehicles: benefits and challenges

Abstract

The OpenAI chatbot ChatGPT has achieved unprecedented success since its launch in November 2022. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies behind ChatGPT are expected to have far-reaching effects on various technological fields beyond natural language processing. This editorial discusses the potential benefits and challenges that ChatGPT may bring to the connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs). CAVs have been heavily researched in both the automotive and communications industries in recent years, where the AI technologies have played an indispensable role. Exploring how and to what extent ChatGPT will affect this field is an interesting and timely research topic.
