The newly announced assistant is expected to provide advanced voice interaction, enabling users to perform tasks such as navigation, controlling in-car systems, opening windows, and engaging in natural conversations while driving.

The showcase of this AI assistant is scheduled for CES 2024 in January, providing more insights into its functionalities.
