Those who love Tesla no matter what have a lot of positive things to say about having Grok in the car. They like interacting with Grok and learning a language while driving. Said one review: \u201cJust tried it out today and was blown away. Amazing what it can do just in the car, tell me the news, read me a story, sing a song, speak to it in Chinese, and it spoke back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Listening to the super rude Grok personality was quite entertaining, I\u2019ll admit. The insults were actually pretty clever. I could see myself having fun with it. Anyway, Tesla may not be the only one with AI very soon. So even more people can start arguing with their car while attempting to drive. Lovely!<\/p>\n

Recently, Volvo and Polestar announced they would introduce Google Gemini across their lineups. It will start with vehicles in the United States that already have Google built in (which was done around 2020). For anyone confused with all this AI stuff, Gemini is Google DeepMind\u2019s conversational chatbot. It\u2019s basically the same thing as Grok, without the sexual harassment drama over on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Join the conversation \u00b7 The Lot<\/p>\n 38 owners sharing real experiences<\/p>\n Join<\/a><\/p>\n A lot of these brands already have command-based voice inputs and similar assistance, but this marks a distinct shift toward more conversational AI technology. Drivers will be able to chat to their car, ask follow-up questions, and basically have more natural interactions than they were having before. Gemini can plan trips, suggest destinations, locate stops along your route, and do just about anything else useful in real time. This includes translating stuff, just like Grok.<\/p>\n And Volvo and Polestar aren\u2019t alone. BMW is making an AI assistant in partnership with Amazon. And Lucid is also making its own AI assistant<\/a>, which uses Gemini, ChatGPT, and other existing programs to basically provide you with all the tools necessary.<\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t caught on by now, all of these AI assistants are basically the same exact thing. It\u2019s all part of the race to further connectivity and software-as-a-service. As vehicles become more high-tech and automakers assume we want more and more features, they are giving as even more things to pay for that can be easily updated over-the-air. It has become another revenue stream<\/a> for automakers that are struggling to make a profit after dealing with tariffs and constantly pivoting markets.<\/p>\n Autonoci\u00f3n Newsletter<\/p>\n
