Smart electric vehicle company Jidu Auto will integrate Baidu Inc's ChatGPT-like artificial intelligence services in its cars to provide better human-machine interaction.

Xia Yiping, CEO of Jidu, said the company will integrate Ernie Bot, an AI chatbot project developed by Baidu, into its cars to develop the world's first large-language-model-powered AI interactive experience for intelligent vehicles.

Baidu's Ernie Bot is a ChatGPT-like AI service which will complete its internal testing in March before being made public.

Founded in 2021, Jidu Auto is a joint venture established by Baidu and carmaker Geely Holding Group.
