It blows my mind that Musk hasn't integrated Grok as an app inside their vehicles. A literal AI copilot is a completely novel and killer app that cannot be pulled off by any other vehicle manufacturer.

Getting them to actually do something useful other than generating text is still a work in progress. What do you envision them actually doing in this integration?

  Why does it need to work beyond text-based output?

    Because all you need to do is Bluetooth your iPhone to your 1995 Ford Ranger, and install Gemini to have a voice conversation with your cars speakers. But then your original comment doesn't make any sense about it being only possible with a Tesla.

      The iPhone screen size is too small, and nobody takes their iPad with them on every trip.

        Why do I need a big screen? The models mostly all have voice interfaces now. I shouldn't be sitting there reading and typing text input or output while driving anyways... What are you actually imagining doing with these models in the car? I still haven't heard what use they are.

        > You don't. You're free to use iPhone all day for work and play. You just said "The screen size is too small" when geor9e was talking about using the phone so I'm confused is a phone too small or just fine for this? > The exact same things that are done on a laptop and desktop. i.e. Not things people usually do in cars...

        Not "cars" but Teslas.

    If it's not doing something actually related to/integrated with the car why does it need to be an app there instead of just living on your phone like all our existing digital assistants?

      Simply due to the screen being much bigger than your phone

"Killer app" in the good way or the bad way?

I've been saying hey google drive home (for GPS directions), and play music, to the phone mounted on my dash for a decade. I drive a rusty old stick shift and alligator clamped a $10 bluetooth to the speaker. So I'm not sure what you're envisioning that can't also work on any other car. There is also https://comma.ai https://comma.ai that adds self-driving to hundreds of newer cars via just a ODB2-like dongle and equivalent of a smartphone.
