As one of the world’s largest mobility companies investing in all areas of the automotive industry, Stellantis has been collaborating with Mistral AI for over a year on AI-powered projects spanning vehicle engineering, fleet data analysis, corporate vehicle sales, and production. Leveraging Mistral AI’s expertise in large language models (LLMs*), Stellantis aims to enhance product satisfaction, improve manufacturing quality, and accelerate product development by analyzing vast data sets with greater efficiency.
The latest breakthrough from this partnership is an advanced AI-powered in-vehicle assistant designed to serve as a voice-activated user guide, enabling natural conversational interactions for drivers. This collaboration underscores Stellantis’ approach to rapidly integrating cutting-edge AI developments to enhance efficiency, adaptability, and customer-driven innovation.
Stellantis N.V. and Mistral AI are deepening their strategic collaboration to integrate AI into various aspects of vehicle engineering and in-car experiences. This partnership harnesses Mistral AI’s expertise in LLMs and AI-driven automation to embed artificial intelligence across Stellantis’ systems and applications, refine data analysis, and enhance customer engagement.
The latest AI initiative within this collaboration introduces a next-generation in-vehicle assistant designed to provide real-time, chat-based support to drivers. Built on over a year of AI-driven projects, this solution enhances customer satisfaction, optimizes product development, and improves production efficiency.
LLM: Large Language Models are deep learning algorithms capable of understanding, summarizing, translating, and generating new text and content based on large-scale data sets.
Stellantis and Mistral AI are developing an AI-driven in-vehicle assistant that enables drivers to interact with their vehicles using natural language. This assistant functions as a real-time, voice-activated user manual, allowing customers to inquire about vehicle features, troubleshoot issues, and receive instant guidance in a conversational format. Continuously updated, the assistant will be seamlessly integrated across various Stellantis brands and models to deliver an intuitive and smooth user experience.
Beyond the in-vehicle assistant, Stellantis and Mistral AI are exploring multiple AI-powered solutions, including:
BOM (Bill of Materials) is a foundational resource detailing all components, materials, and subassemblies required for manufacturing a finished product.
Recognizing the vast potential of artificial intelligence, Stellantis’ Chief Engineering and Technology Officer, Ned Curic, stated: “There are many players in AI, but we are particularly excited to partner with Mistral AI due to their ability to adapt quickly and deliver meaningful results through collaboration. Together, we are exploring AI’s diverse applications to enhance both our products and customer experience in a truly impactful way.”
Arthur Mensch, CEO and Co-Founder of Mistral AI, added: “This partnership marks a significant step in our commitment to making GenAI more accessible and valuable. Stellantis’ bold approach to technology and its ability to integrate advanced AI into real-world driving experiences make it an ideal partner for showcasing how Mistral AI’s versatile solutions can revolutionize mobility and support engineers in their work.”
By integrating AI across multiple touchpoints, Stellantis reinforces its commitment to developing innovative, data-driven solutions that enhance products, customer satisfaction, and employee experience.
