At CES 2024, the world's leading electronics trade fair held from 9 to 12 January, Volkswagen will present the first vehicles in which the artificial-intelligence-based chatbot ChatGPT is integrated into its IDA voice assistant. In future, customers will have seamless access to the constantly growing artificial intelligence database in all Volkswagen models equipped with the IDA voice assistant (Optional or line-dependent equipment.) and have researched content read out to them while driving. Cerence Chat Pro from technology partner Cerence Inc. is the foundation of the new function, which offers a uniquely intelligent, automotive-grade ChatGPT integration. Volkswagen will be the first volume manufacturer to offer Chat GPT as a standard feature from the second quarter of 2024 in many production vehicles.
I guess our car is not our private space anymore, and we are not given a choice when buying a car from Volkswagen.
If it’s free ChatGPT everything is recorded and can’t be deleted or removed from their database. You can however delete data and opt-out of saving conversations, sharing conversation data with OpenAI if you have a paid account.
The article says they delete any questions after they’re asked, but I’d prefer to disable any ChatGPT features put in front of me.
Ask anyone who works in IT and they’ll confirm nothing gets ever deleted from all records and backups.

Maybe deleted from the productive database (if at all, as Reddit for example just flagged “deleted” comments apparently in the past).
But Backups, does data really get removed from backups? I don’t think so.
For ChatGPT Enterprise it’s one of their selling points. It implicitly states that individual and free accounts lack any of these privacy protections.
