PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Automakers' OTA updates are shifting from bug fixes to selling AI personas: putting Didi Xia in the car along with a celebrity voice is about turning the agent into a perceptible selling point. But voice broadcasts and karaoke are hard to turn into a moat; the real test is whether multi-step command execution is stable. Users should focus on the actual experience, not the launch-event rhetoric.
