I suspect all the China-made Tesla product can be characterized as using China-made software.
AI Overview
Tesla's China-made cars use a software system similar to the U.S. version's Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD), though with some differences due to local regulations and data limitations. This includes driver-assistance features like navigation, lane changes, and traffic signal recognition. However, Tesla is also integrating a localized AI assistant, Doubao, which replaces the U.S. model's Grok AI.
Core software and driver assistance
- Full Self-Driving (FSD):
A suite of driver-assistance technologies is being rolled out, though it's a restricted version compared to the U.S. model and requires active driver supervision.
Localized AI and voice commands
- Doubao AI:
Tesla is integrating the Doubao AI, a system from a Chinese company, into its cars in China.
Purpose:
This is a response to the Chinese government's restrictions on using Grok AI, the AI used in North American Tesla models.
Integration:
Unlike Grok in the U.S., Doubao is able to interact with the car's functions.
Voice command:
It is used with a new "Hey Tesla" wake-up command.
Other software
- Underlying OS: The core operating system for the display computer runs on Linux, and the browser is based on WebKit, but most of the software is developed by Tesla itself.
Autopilot:
A basic, free version of driver assistance is also available, with its name tweaked to "Basic Assisted Driving" in China.
Specific features:
The system includes features like guiding vehicles through intersections, recognizing traffic signals, and making lane changes.
Data limitations:
The system's capabilities may be limited compared to the U.S. version due to a lack of sufficient data training on Chinese roads and traffic regulations.
