You really don’t see a difference between manufacturer installed and advertised feature, on a main screen in the car, that also contains legally mandated functions like speedometer VS 3rd party app on a 3rd party accessory?
Especially if that feature comes from a company that’s known to overhype their self driving abilities?
Comparing that to kindergarten from software is like complaining that when you build new house you need to put right electrical cables in the wall. And that just a sticker on the outlet that says “use only for table lamb with 1 led light” should be enough.
- leobg 5y agoSure. I totally get how this looks, given the headlines. But it makes no sense to me. Tesla has no financial reason to allow drivers to trick the car into loading a game by falsely clicking the “Passenger” button. On the contrary. If a customer does this and crashes the car while playing a game, it would cause a lot of bad press for Tesla. Locking games would be the easier path for Tesla. Limiting Autopilot speed to the exact speed limit of the road would also be the easier path for Tesla. Heck, not publicly striving for FSD and getting “egg on their face” when it takes longer than expected would be the easier path for Tesla. Why are they not doing the easier thing?
