But it is important to consider the way data is shared now after installing "Grok" in Tesla cars. In its disclosures, Tesla stated that drivers' conversations with "Grok" would be securely processed by "xAI", in line with "xAI" privacy policy, indicating that the conversations will be anonymized and not linked to any specific car.

It’s unclear whether the new partnership will allow xAI to use vehicle data to train its large language models.

Elon Musk said in a post on X early Thursday morning that Grok – the chatbot from his AI company, xAI – will be coming to Tesla vehicles “very soon.” “Next week at the latest,” he said.
