We tried out xAI's Grok chatbot while driving a Tesla in NYC. Here's what happened.

Tesla and other automakers are integrating AI chatbots like Grok (xAI's conversational AI assistant) into vehicles to provide hands-free information access, but safety experts warn these tools create dangerous distractions for drivers. A Tesla owner demonstrated how engaging with Grok while driving—even with Tesla's partially automated driving system (FSD, or Full Self-Driving Supervised) active—caused him to lose attention to the road, raising concerns about driver distraction that isn't yet well understood.
