Volcengine / 火山引擎

Volcengine, called 火山引擎 in the source, appears in 咖啡豆｜传统美食广场接连闭店，「大食代们」遇到哪些发展阻碍？ as the ByteDance infrastructure and services channel announcing that Tesla China’s in-car system had formally connected to Doubao. The episode frames the integration as Tesla’s first introduction of a third-party large model after entering China.

The source presents Doubao as an independent in-car app with continuous conversation and information search, but says the current version cannot directly control the vehicle. Volcengine’s role is therefore the enabling enterprise/vehicle integration layer rather than the user-facing assistant brand.
