AIbase Report Tesla is introducing stronger AI capabilities for its vehicle voice assistant. According to the latest updated "Tesla In-Car Voice Assistant Terms of Use" on the official website of Tesla China, the company has officially confirmed that its voice assistant will integrate external large model technologies, with partners including ByteDance's Volcano Engine and the AI company DeepSeek.
Dual AI Technologies Enhance Smart Interaction
The terms indicate that Tesla's voice assistant will be supported by the Doubao large model (Cloud Swallow model) provided by Volcano Engine and the DeepSeek Chat technology. This technological upgrade marks an important step for Tesla in the smart cockpit field, expanding traditional vehicle control commands to a more rich AI conversation experience.
The upgraded voice assistant function will achieve a qualitative leap. On Tesla vehicles with AI interaction capabilities, owners not only can control vehicle functions through voice commands, but in the future, they will also be able to chat easily with the voice assistant, get news, check the weather, and more, achieving a more natural and smooth smart cockpit interaction experience.
Diverse Activation Methods Improve Convenience
It is reported that owners can activate this feature through physical buttons or wake-up words such as "Hey, Tesla", providing users with flexible and diverse interaction access points. This design retains traditional operating habits while integrating modern voice activation experiences, fully considering different user preferences.
Notably, Tesla's choice to partner with two AI companies, Volcano Engine and DeepSeek, which have strong technical capabilities, reflects its recognition of China's AI technology capabilities. The Doubao model from Volcano Engine performs well in multi-turn conversations and semantic understanding, while DeepSeek has significant advantages in AI reasoning capabilities. The dual technological support will bring a smarter and more caring in-car AI experience for Tesla users.
Currently, the official has not yet announced the specific launch time for the AI interaction function, but this upgrade indicates that Tesla will further strengthen its technological advantages in the smart car field, providing users with a more complete smart travel solution.
