TESLA IS IN TROUBLE with the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration after a software update allowed owners to play games whilst driving. Normally only usable in Park, the update removed this restriction for the pre-installed games. You can now play Sky Force Reloaded and 18 other games while driving. Click through a warning message saying “Use of Tesla Arcade while the vehicle is in motion is only for passengers” and to “check local laws,” and off you go. Teslas are still a long way from self-driving, despite Elon Musk’s promises, and if there is one thing you need to do when driving it is to pay attention. This sort of loose play with regulations looks sloppy at best, some would say irresponsible. A software update or recall is expected shortly. Tesla isn’t alone either, Mercedes Benz recently had to fix a server bug that enabled you to watch television on the EQS, and S-Class ‘hyperscreen’ whilst driving.
