What prompted it
Watching Tesla dashcam footage meant pulling out the USB stick. Later, the dashcam dropped out for 30 seconds in the middle of a drive.
What Grok Bot did
- Had Grok Bot build a Raspberry Pi–based viewer for Tesla dashcam footage.
- Noticed the dashcam dropped out for 30 seconds mid-drive.
- Asked Grok in the car to analyze it. It came back with the root cause and a proposed fix.
- Told it to implement the fix.
- It created a PR, tested the fix and deployed it to the Raspberry Pi in the glovebox.
