Tesla has not integrated the AI assistant Grok into its vehicles yet, but new firmware coding suggests a more realistic implementation is on the way.
Elon Musk previously hinted at Grok's arrival in vehicles, aligning with Tesla's focus on a near-term rollout of the Robotaxi platform.
Grok will provide AI assistance for drivers operating vehicles manually or using the Full Self-Driving suite, offering customizable personalities and features like kids' versions with story-telling and trivia.
Tesla hacker green discovered firmware details indicating Grok's integration with personalized tones catered to driver preferences.
Grok's capabilities include language tutoring and various personalities such as argumentative, assistant, kids_story, story-teller, and more.
Musk mentioned in January that users will be able to interact with their Tesla vehicles through Grok for various requests.
Grok support seems to be limited to AMD-based Tesla vehicles currently, excluding Intel-based Teslas from accessing the AI assistant.
