After being investigated, Tesla found a witty way to circumvent the ban but I was afraid it would be difficult to convince the public

IT House December 31 news, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration this month began reviewing a Tesla software that lets drivers play games on the dashboard while driving. The New York Times reported on Tuesday that Tesla updated the software for most vehicles this summer.

IT House learned that in a warning before the game began, Tesla said it was clear that card games could run while cars were on: "Card games are for everyone, but only passengers can play while the car is on. "One of the buttons asks for confirmation that the player is a passenger, but in reality the driver can also play the game by tapping the button.

Previously, tesla in-vehicle software had more than a dozen video games, but the people in the car could only play games when the car was stationary. This summer, Tesla added three new games to its electric cars through over-the-air updates: card, the flying shooter game "Proud Eagle" and the strategy round game "Battle of Dotobons", which can also be played in the car, triggering public concerns about driving safety.

Recently, Tesla gave in to NHTSA, announcing that it will prohibit the appearance of game information on the car's central control screen when driving, and users can only run the game in the parking lot. Before being banned, players can start the game by simply tapping on the "I am a passenger" button, but this is obviously not safe.

The famous Tesla hacker "Green God" found that tesla can still enable the function now, users only need to adjust the passenger seat to verify that they are indeed passengers.

From the user's point of view, the solution is really simple and practical, after all, it is difficult for the average person to touch the seat switch on the passenger side when driving. But this blinding French solution may be difficult to satisfy NHTSA, after all, the official has to be responsible for the user.
