Elon Musk confirms Grok AI integration in Tesla vehicles

Elon Musk has announced that Grok, the generative AI chatbot developed by xAI, will be integrated into Tesla vehicles in the near future, Report informs referring to the Entrepreneur India.

The update, shared on X (formerly Twitter), follows the recent release of Grok 4, the latest version of the AI model that features enhanced reasoning capabilities and an expressive voice interface.

According to Musk, the rollout is expected to happen "next week at the latest," making way for conversational AI features to become part of the Tesla driving experience. The feature will reportedly allow drivers to engage in natural voice interactions with their vehicles.

Grok was initially launched in 2023 and has undergone several updates. The fourth version includes a voice assistant named Eve, designed to convey emotional tone, as well as a range of customisable personality modes - some of which have raised concerns. Firmware leaks suggest that modes such as "therapist," "argumentative," and "unhinged" are part of the system, with some flagged as not safe for work (NSFW).

The integration will be limited to newer Tesla models equipped with Hardware 3 or above. In addition to its automotive applications, Grok is also expected to be used in Tesla's humanoid robot project, Optimus, reflecting xAI's broader plans to embed the technology across different platforms.
