Tesla drivers will be able to give voice commands to the company’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system through the xAI-developed “AI companion” Grok within about three months. Additionally, upcoming releases will allow the vehicle to remember the driver’s parking preferences at frequent destinations, CEO Elon Musk said on late Wednesday. The feature was confirmed in response to a post from X user ‘KHdimples,’ who suggested that Tesla owners should be able to converse with FSD the way a passenger talks to an Uber driver. The user offered sample commands such as “Hey Grok, turn right here,” “Drop us off right here, we’ll walk due to traffic,” and “Drop at entrance first, then park far away.” Tesla‘s chief replied that “this functionality will be there in about 3 months or so.” In February, Musk had already confirmed this type of parking-specific voice control was in development, after responding with “Coming” to a user highlighting FSD’s inability to take verbal parking instructions. The feature would represent the deepest integration yet between xAI’s conversational AI and Tesla‘s autonomous driving stack. xAI, the artificial intelligence company founded by Musk in 2023, was acquired by SpaceX earlier this year and now operates as part of a broader AI division within the $2.5 trillion market cap company. Last week, SpaceX went public in a record IPO, with the surge in its valuation pushing Musk’s net worth above $1 trillion — making him the world’s first trillionaire. Several media reports and Wall Street analysts have suggested that Tesla could eventually merge with SpaceX next year. From Navigation Assistant to Driving Co-Pilot Grok first arrived in Tesla vehicles in mid-2025 as a beta conversational assistant, capable of answering questions and handling basic queries. At the time, Tesla explicitly noted that Grok did not issue commands to the vehicle and
