Uber Launhces AI Assistant with OpenAI's GPT-4 to Support EV Drivers
Uber Technologies and Uber Company has just launched its AI assistant powered by OpenAI's technology based on artificial intelligence to help drivers transition to electric vehicles in a mission to make the surroundings cleaner and provide emission-free rides to its customers.
Highlights
1. Uber will probably switch entirely to EVs by 2040.
2: Approximately 180,000 Uber drivers are moving to EVs.
3: Uber is also conducting a mentorship program for new EV drivers.
The Uber company has taken an initiative in the past time when it decided to offer green services all across the world to transform transportation and make this world free from harmful gases.
The company has provided mentorship to the drivers who are willing to shift towards EV driving and has pledged $800 million to support its driver partners' shifting entirely to electric-based energy by 2024.
The ride-providing company Uber has collaborated with the leading AI-based company OpenAI to use its newly launched AI chatbot ChatGPT-4o, and this was unveiled at Uber's Go-Get Zero in London on Tuesday. This chatbot will help the drivers shift towards greener travel, and this is all set to launch early next year in the United States and will later expand to other locations.
The company also has plans to offer the chatbot service in locations and solve queries as well after completing this driver shift by 2025.
Following the company's dedication to making rides green, almost 180,000 Uber drivers in a month moved to EVs in North America and Europe.
"Uber drivers are adopting EVs five times faster than the average motorist in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. In London, nearly 30% of all miles driven on Uber are now electric," said CEO Dara Khosrowashhi.
The Uber company is also soon to announce its mentorship program to connect experienced EV drivers with drivers who are willing to make a shift towards EVs.
