US investigates claim Tesla drivers can play video games while driving
‘Passenger play’ feature has been available since December 2020 – before that, games could only be played in ‘park’ mode
The US has opened a formal investigation into a report that Tesla vehicles allow people to play video games on a center touch screen while they are driving.
The investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration covers about 580,000 electric cars and SUVs from model years 2017 through 2022.
The action follows a complaint to the agency that Teslas equipped with “gameplay functionality” allow games to be played
