Tesla\'s Grok AI in cars proves more dangerous than expected in test

Tesla vehicles equipped with xAI’s Grok chatbot are drawing attention as a driving convenience feature, but a road test raised concerns about distraction and safety. CNBC reported that Grok’s immersive conversations and functional limits could affect driving. Experts warned that off-topic chatbot dialogue is a clear distraction, and a user said it changed his driving while remaining risky. Critics also cited risks when used with supervised Full Self-Driving, inconsistent responses and concerns over adult content and minors’ access.
