Spending time in Texas I was surrounded by Tesla trucks, Rivian vans and wild car tech that previously seemed impossible (as a Brit), Inspired some notes.


Using MBUX as a starting point, I’ve been exploring how AI could enhance the driving experience.

While the “Hey Mercedes” feature that allows people to speak commands to their car, was a big step forward at the time. Like Siri - It's rigid, causes confusion (whilst driving) and it isn't intelligent enough to be helpful beyond basic prompts.

Here I’m exploring and conceptualising a future where our cars don’t just respond—they anticipate, adapt, and become proactive, assistive companions on our daily journeys.

Unlike Siri, which typically responds to direct commands, a modern AI system could offer a more proactive and contextual understanding of the driver. It might anticipate your needs based on factors like driving style, mood, and environment, delivering assistance in a way that feels both personable and intelligent.


Instead of simply waiting for you to ask, it could subtly adjust to your preferences, potentially making the driving experience smoother and more intuitive—almost like having a thoughtful companion who understands you without needing to be told, whilst keeping the subject in total control.

Knowing your heart-rate, your car could intuitively adjust the ambient lighting, selecting calming music/books, and alter the driving dynamics to create a more relaxing journey home. By recognizing and responding to emotional cues, the AI could make the driving experience not just efficient, but emotionally supportive implicitly all with Health-Kit / phone health + car sensory data.

Personalisation:


 By allowing users to select a tone that best suits their mood or personality, the system could deliver AI-driven interactions that feel more aligned with individual preferences, enhancing the overall driving experience.


This approach underscores the potential for AI to not just respond but to engage in a way that feels more human and tailored to the driver’s needs and emotions.
