The document introduces Co-Pilot, an AI assistant created by Volkswagen for their self-driving Beetle. Co-Pilot is designed to give drivers more control over their autonomous vehicle by responding to voice commands instead of fully taking over driving. It is meant to act as a traveling companion with a personality reflective of the Beetle brand, learning preferences over time to better assist the driver and passengers.

2. There are few cars
in the world with as
much personality as
a VW Beetle.

3. And the self-driving
Beetle is a childhood
fantasy brought
to life.

4. But our customers are uncomfortable
handing over the wheel
to a car with a mind of its own.

6. We need our customers to understand,
they are still drivers.

7. The only difference is,
now they’re driving
with their voice.

8. Meet Co-Pilot

9. Co-Pilot is a voice responsive AI who gives
drivers greater autonomy
over their autonomous vehicle.

11. More than just Siri for your car,
Co-Pilot is a traveling companion who follows
your lead and guides you on your journey.

13. We would write the character of Co-Pilot
with motivations and unique interactions.

14. So it’s full of the personality
of the Beetle brand.

15. Also, with the help of deep learning
technology Co-Pilot would become a better
travel companion the more you
drive together.

16. So it’s responsive to you
and your passengers.

17. Co-Pilot doesn’t remember your
preferences.
You have them in common.

19. Co-Pilot doesn’t doesn’t automatically plot
the quickest course to your destination,
It asks if you’d like to take the scenic route.
But it still knows a shortcut or two.
