Vehicle control outcomes

What you can do

These are the specific ways your AI interacts with your GM vehicle.

ENGINE

Remote engine control

Your AI can trigger the engine to start or stop. This lets you prep the car before you walk out the door.

SECURITY

Door lock management

You can lock or unlock the doors using text commands. It's a quick way to secure the car or let someone in.

STATUS

Vehicle state control

The AI manages the active state of the engine and the door locks. You get direct control over these mechanical functions.

MANUAL

Human responsibility

The AI handles the remote commands, but you still need to physically check the vehicle and drive it yourself.

The workflow

What your AI does when the command arrives.

Your AI translates your natural language into specific vehicle commands.

  1. Ignition control

    When you ask to start the car, the AI sends the command to ignite the engine.

    start_vehicle

  2. Engine shutdown

    If you need to turn the car off, the AI executes the command to kill the engine.

    stop_vehicle

  3. Locking doors

    The AI secures the vehicle by sending a command to lock all doors.

    lock_doors

  4. Unlocking doors

    You can grant access to the vehicle by asking the AI to unlock the doors.

    unlock_doors
