Tesla Inc.
(NASDAQ:TSLA) is developing natural-language voice commands that could let Full Self-Driving users describe precise drop-off locations with cues such as house colors, driveways, or nearby landmarks.
Tesla Works On Smarter FSD Voice Commands Tesla’s vice president of AI software, Ashok Elluswamy, confirmed the work on Tuesday after an X user said FSD would be "twice as useful in neighborhoods" if drivers could tell the car which driveway to use, the way they would guide a human driver.

Elluswamy replied, "Working on it." The request targets a familiar last-mile problem for driver-assistance systems: map pins can be wrong, while a person can understand context, such as a parked car, a storefront entrance, or the correct side of a street.
