Grok Bot renews a vehicle registration from a photo

@MattForsberg reports handing a vehicle-registration renewal to Grok Bot after receiving a DMV notice in the post. Rather than transcribing the letter into a task description, he photographed it and told the bot to handle the renewal.

The next reported checkpoint was a request for his insurance card. He supplied that document, after which the bot carried out the process. The account does not identify the website, browser tools or individual form fields, so those implementation details cannot be reconstructed from this source.

At the payment stage, Grok Bot asked whether it should use a credit card stored in its vault. The user said yes. This is a specific approval for the saved card, not evidence of permission to make other purchases or renewals without asking.

The poster says he then received an email confirming the registration renewal was complete and that new stickers should arrive in the mail soon. The email is a reported outcome; the capture does not include it or establish that the stickers later arrived. Neither the renewal fee nor the registration jurisdiction is given in the post. The author's profile location is not used to infer either.
