Imagine a car in conversation with a passerby. Impossible ? Certainly not for Elon Musk, the tireless CEO of Tesla. In a tweet published on Sunday and spotted by Phonandroid , the boss of the American car company assures that his vehicles will soon be able to talk to pedestrians.
"Your Tesla will talk to people soon if you want to." It's real, ”enthuses Elon Musk. This tweet is accompanied by an amazing video, presenting a Tesla Model 3 in full discussion with a person on the sidewalk. "Well, don't just stand there. Go up! », Launches the car in a slightly robotic voice, inviting the passer-by to board. The Tesla of the future is getting closer and closer to the cult K 2000 series.

This new voice functionality should be integrated into the Sentinel mode that equips the brand's vehicles. Thanks to cameras, it makes it possible to monitor the surroundings of the vehicle when it is parked on the street, and to warn its owner in the event of an attack.
Ultimately, we can therefore imagine that the car could directly address potential thieves to scare them, in order to dissuade them from committing an offense. A prospect that greatly amuses Elon Musk: "This will create epic confusion among thieves," jokes the CEO by answering a question from a user.
