Uber Unveils OpenAI-Powered EV Assistant for Drivers
Uber is set to launch an AI assistant powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4o, aimed at helping drivers navigate electric vehicle (EV) queries. Beginning in early 2025, the assistant will provide information on charging locations and EV purchasing options. Accessible from the Uber driver app, it will personalize responses based on driver needs and local incentives. The initiative is part of Uber's broader strategy to promote EV adoption, including an EV mentorship program for experienced drivers. Additional features enhancing rider options for EVs were also announced during the Go-Get event in London.
