Tesla has announced an upgrade to its electric vehicle (EV) voice assistant system, incorporating artificial intelligence technology from DeepSeek and ByteDance. The updated system allows drivers to engage in casual conversations and access the latest news and weather updates through DeepSeek’s chatbot. Additionally, ByteDance’s Doubao large language model enhances voice commands for navigation and in-vehicle features like media and air conditioning. The voice assistant is activated by saying “Hey, Tesla,” offering a more intuitive user experience. ByteDance’s Volcano Engine handles the integration of these AI systems using a secure application programming interface. Tesla has not yet commented on this development.
