Media reports say Doubao large-model assistant is already integrated into some new Teslas. Several people familiar with the matter say Alibaba’s Qianwen has entered advanced testing on Tesla China’s in-car systems and onboarding is imminent. Sources say Qianwen has completed extensive real-vehicle on-board tests in a live car environment and can listen and respond, control vehicle functions, provide navigation and handle tasks; its eventual capabilities may exceed a conventional voice assistant.
