Volkswagen has announced that it will incorporate AI voice commands into its cars for the Chinese market. Starting in the second half of this year, all vehicles based on Volkswagen's China car system will feature AI agents that allow humans to control car features with voice commands. The move is part of Volkswagen's strategy to regain lost market share as China rapidly shifts towards electric cars.

The automaker also plans to use agentic AI to power a unified driver-assist and cockpit control system next year.
