Overview

  • Elon Musk said on X that Tesla aims to introduce in-car gaming during its Full Self-Driving mode within roughly three to six months, contingent on local regulatory approval.
  • The gaming feature would only be enabled in regions where Tesla’s autonomy system has full approval, keeping drivers responsible and requiring them to oversee the vehicle.
  • Tesla’s Full Self-Driving remains a driver-assist technology rather than full autonomy, and drivers must stay ready to take over at any moment.
  • The update underscores Tesla’s strategy to transform its cars into multifunctional entertainment hubs following earlier additions like streaming apps and Steam support.
  • Tesla’s geofenced Robotaxi service continues operating in Austin with onboard safety monitors, and expansion to Chicago awaits further safety testing and licensing.
