## GM Reboots OnStar Service
General Motors announced a complete overhaul of its OnStar service to become a personal AI assistant across vehicles, phones, and cloud systems.
## OnStar AI Launch Timeline
The new OnStar AI will debut in the 2027 Cadillac Lyriq via over-the-air update, with more models including silverado and sierra trucks adding the feature later.
## OnStar AI Features
The AI assistant tracks schedules, partners, grocery pickups, and weather to proactively adjust vehicle settings and send alerts to users.
## OnStar App Consolidation
GM will kill off standalone Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, and Buick apps, bundling all vehicles into one OnStar smartphone app for unified management.
## OnStar Data Security
All data is encrypted end-to-end and accessible only by the owner, with detailed controls for cameras, microphones, location, and ai permissions.
