The feature, which allows drivers to play games using the front touchscreen while driving a car, poses a serious safety hazard and includes a total of 580,000 Tesla vehicles produced since 2017. The next day, Tesla announced that it would ban video game information from appearing on the car's central control screen.

It is understood that this function is tesla's recent update after the activation of the game, to know that the previous game also exists, but it can be run when stopped, and later after the software update upgrade, the driving road can also be played.

The bureau found that Tesla Model 3, Model S, Model X and Model Y models produced between 2017 and 2022 had at least three games installed on the control screen, namely card, flying shooter game "Proud Eagle", and strategy turn game "Battle of Dotoban".

Although the Tesla car system will prompt that the game is only available to passengers, drivers can still play the game as long as they press the confirmation button. NHTSA has conducted a comprehensive safety assessment of Tesla's "Passenger Gaming" feature, including its usage scenarios and frequency of use.

This morning, Tesla will ban video game information from appearing on the car's central control screen. To know that when Tesla can play games, it has aroused heated discussion among netizens, and accused this is an important manifestation of not taking the safety of themselves and others seriously.

If safety cannot be guaranteed, how it is on the road.

However, the development of its core technology has recently stagnated, engaging in these peripheral products every day, not focusing on the main business, and can't help but sigh what happened to Tesla? Where did Musk's passion go?
