Tesla began rolling out xAI’s Grok AI chatbot in its cars in July 2025. It’s still in beta mode. Tesla is not the only automaker adding AI assistants to vehicles. Volvo, Rivian, Mercedes, BMW and others are all integrating AI into their cars even though the tech is still in its infancy. CNBC’s Rob Ferris takes a ride with attorney and Tesla Model Y owner Mike Nelson in New York City to see how he uses Grok and to find out how it integrates into Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised).

Elon Musk’s high-profile lawsuit against OpenAI, the company’s CEO Sam Altman and its President Greg Brockman kicks off with jury selection in federal court in California on April 27th. Musk, who co-founded OpenAI in 2015 alongside Altman and Brockman, alleges he was deceived into donating roughly $38 million to the startup under the promise that it would remain a nonprofit. The two sides have been in a heated standoff since Musk filed the suit in 2024. CNBC’s Ashley Capoot will be in the courtroom for the trail and explains what to expect next.

Battle Of The Billionaires: Elon Musk And Sam Altman Go To Court

John Ternus will become Apple’s eighth CEO in September, continuing a tradition of internal promotion at the iPhone maker. Industry experts have long speculated that the 50-year-old Ternus would become Cook’s eventual successor. Over the last 25 years at Apple, Ternus has become a key architect of the tech giant’s robust product pipeline, managing hardware engineering for iPad, AirPods and recent iPhone models. He has also played a significant role in Apple’s Silicon chip program as it transitions away from Intel. When Ternus takes the reins this September, he faces a significant obstacle: revamping the company’s struggling artificial intelligence strategy. CNBC’s MacKenzie Sigalos has the story.

Who Is John Ternus, Apple’s New CEO?

BMW debuted its refreshed version of the 7 Series sedan, the brand’s full size flagship vehicle in April. It’s the most extensive update BMW has undertaken. The company’s North American boss said it won’t give up on sedans, even though many other luxury and premium automakers have. SUV’s now outsell sedans by a pretty wide margin–especially in the full-size category. In addition, BMW’s X7 SUV is made in South Carolina, while it’s 7-Series is imported from Germany. That puts tariff pressure on it. BMW’s North America head Sebastian Mackensen says sedans still matter to the brand and the 7-Series still represents “the pinnacle of what we produce”.
