X's Grok Coming to Tesla Vehicles "Next Week At the Latest"

x s grok coming to tesla vehicles next week at the latest

Grok, X/Twitter’s sometimes-racist AI chatbot, is coming to Tesla vehicles soon. CEO Elon Musk recently posted about the move, which he said could come “Next week at the latest,” following a demonstration of the technology’s latest features.

Musk showed the new-and-improved Grok’s capabilities, demonstrating improved voice conversations and higher benchmark scores than some competing systems. The updated system came after Grok yet again made inappropriate posts on X, this time with antisemitic comments. Some have clamored for Tesla to include the tech in its cars for a while, which they feel could help slow the automaker’s tumbling sales.

While we don’t know exactly what Grok could do in a Tesla vehicle, it would likely replace the existing voice control system. The more natural language processing would make it easy to get directions or book a restaurant reservation, and Grok could integrate with Tesla’s advanced driver-assistance tech.

Grok’s move to Tesla comes as the company expands its robotaxi services in Austin, Texas, and Musk noted that the automaker was awaiting regulatory approval to launch the service in the Bay Area of California. It has been an eventful week for Musk’s other businesses, too, as X CEO Linda Yaccarino recently stepped down, leaving a big hole at the top of the controversial social media network.

When autopilot hits an object by mistake, Grok will announce "Apologies. I did na-zi that coming."

Why would I like a golf cart now that thinks it knows what I want?

FreedMike …or maybe Kia actually looked at the thing and said, “my word, that thing is ugly and no one is going to buy it, never mind what it runs on”…
Probert Over 30,000,000 EVs have been sold this year. Many in America, sadly for your thesis. Whether the US wishes to participate in this tech moving forward, or not, others are. In essence we have ceded the world to China in this regard, and in yet another field we will be relegated to second rate moribundity. Happy days!!!!Oh - South Korea has halted billions in investment in the US. Investment that could have employed thousands of Americans. Good times!!!!Oh - last year some 4 million people died prematurely from fossil fuel pollution. Party on!!!!!
Fred Granted there must be thousands of parts in a car. I'm sure they are designing cars with computers and use a MRP system, so it's all documented. Do a querey and pull it up. Unless you they want to hide something.
