Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk has teased an update for the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system that would let owners converse with xAI‘s Grok like they would with a chauffeur.
Conversational Grok
On Wednesday, user @KHendricks13 took to X to share her idea of a feature that the FSD system could benefit from. “Need to be able to converse w/ Grok,” the user said, like riders do with an Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:UBER) driver.
"Hey Grok, turn right here." "Drop us off right here, we’ll walk due to traffic." "Drop at entrance first, then park far away," the user shared some possible prompts for Grok on FSD in the post.
Responding to the user, Musk shared that the feature will be rolled out in a future update to the FSD system. “This functionality will be there in about 3 months or so,” the Tesla CEO said in his response.
