Introducing Ford AI Assistant in the Ford App 📱

How can you wonder?
You don't wonder....
Picture proof of you wondering!

The phrase "I wonder" is used to express curiosity, think out loud, or ask polite indirect questions. Common sentence structures include pairing it with a question.
Wondering takes too much time. That's why I wonder and move on.

Interesting mine is same design - AWD airflow hole that pre-25MY only came on EB's up to some point. Though I have a few more up front that matches current one.
My hybrid specific replacement though - hmmm.

I wonder is there a question here

I would love walk away door locking! I miss that from my Honda Ridgeline.

Not me. If I want my door locked it's pretty easy to do myself.

Even if the accidental one if it hasn't happened yet!

You don't want anybody to know about that auto lock feature

AI in a nutshell.

No thanks Ford. Didn’t use your app before, and sure won’t now that it has AI garbage.

Anyone actually test it? Working as an IT admin I have been inundated with vendors jamming chatbots into everything, our own product and AI governance, and just the reality of connecting everything to frontier models to do "stuff".

Proof is usually the pudding though at the end of the day, and at least with my simple test, I will say good job Ford. It actually gives some good results on what an owner might ask.

Also, the chat bots takes virtually nothing in resources to train and run. Can actually be really good when used correctly to get people straight to the relevant information. It's the agentic workloads that are the big driver of why are there suddenly all these datacenters vaporizing our power and water. I don't fault people for not wanting it though; no one signed a contract to suddenly need to have the skills of what an IT worker worker had 10 years ago just to function /w technology, or just to have it jammed into everything whether they want it or not.

Since I pulled the telematics fuse # 11.
I wonder. How much information and data Ford can collect if any from my truck?

In theory they can’t lol. The integration on the 22-24 at least is rather lazy so I’m not sure even the dealer can access the backlog of data at service time

Yep mine too.

Yep, mine also, but I'm willing to give AI a chance- ask questions to which i already know the answer to see if AI agrees. Then perhaps ask a question I don't know, then confirm the AI answer with proven credible sources. Like it or not, AI is here to stay and improves slowly. My old school caution side will not soon trust AI solely on really important things.

So, Dave walks up to his AI enabled Maverick, and the door won't open....
He opens his Ford app to try to unlock it, and the AI assistant he calls Hal pops up on his Ford App.

Hal informs him of a problem due to his discussion with a friend about deleting the Ford app.........

This issue was identified 25 movie years ago....

"I'm sorry Dave; I can't let you do that" (For the youngsters here, that was 'Hal' the computer in the movie '2001')

From another thread but relevant to the new facial cameras.

On a Toyota you should just be able to put a piece of tape over the camera. No long term experience but driving one the other day the camera is just above and behind the steering wheel hub. While driving I was able to place my finger over it and it quit reporting.

Change the dialogue. It's (your name )you're trying to start your truck to go to work after a hard night dogs barking no sleep and

We already have this on our trucks.

We're told it's a humidity sensor but is it really

And, H-A-L was a bit of a dig at I-B-M since each letter in HAL is one letter off from IBM. There's some useless trivia.

Gets AI chat bot on ford app

Immediately ask it about oil/fluid change intervals.

I do wonder how they actually trained this one. Did they make it sit Infront of an owner's manual and read it back-to-back over and over, or is it more like Google's where it takes keywords and references it with what it finds on the internet?

That's more or less how AI training and agent instructions work. At least from what I have tested, the Ford tool is not using RAG (retrieval augmented generation) to scrape the web for more data context for answers beyond Ford documentation. E.g. , "what are owners saying is the best tire for my vehicle". That would obviously have liability concerns, but it's how frontier models (chatgpt, claude, gemini, etc.) work to answer questions that used to be answered by sifting through search engine results.
