Very confused about what the point of this would be. People don't use their cars enough to justify having something like that installed, and it seems like it would just make things more expensive for xAI for not much benefit at all.
It's so Musk can give himself money he would otherwise not get. The user experience has no part in this.
Adoption and usage is a huge value for AI companies.
In order to train data, they need data from humans. Just like social media companies need users to create content. And they're already crawling & stealing everything they can off the internet. But they need more.
Google, Facebook - they're shoving it in everything they own to get more user usage so they can feed their AI beast.
My guess is to give a better experience looking for things while driving. Like restaurants, current movies in theaters etc. Just like how everyone uses ChatGPT vs. Google. Not sure if I'll use it frankly but I'll see when I get it.
It won't make anything better. You can't throw a shitty AI chatbot at a shitty touch UI and expect the shitty touch UI to magically transform into something not shitty for use inside of a vehicle.
