A new iPhone app version shows a non-functional CarPlay entry saying Grok Voice mode is coming soon, potentially enabling voice chatbot use from car infotainment screens within weeks.
The move would extend xAI's assistant beyond Tesla vehicles to many car brands using Apple's platform, where Grok could compete with ChatGPT and Perplexity already available through CarPlay.
The expected rollout highlights cars' growing role as AI interfaces, while Apple is reportedly developing a more advanced Siri for deeper CarPlay integration and Google has not announced Gemini support.
As AI invades our dashboards, who will ultimately control the in-car experience: automakers, Apple, or the AI creators themselves?
Can Grok's 'rebellious' AI be a safe co-pilot, or will its unfiltered wit become a fatal distraction on the road?
