Elon Musk and Tesla Set Their Sights on a New Industry

Musk now wants to expand the number of games compatible with $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ cars. And to do this, he is aiming big. The billionaire wants to include more than 50,000 video games available on the popular platform Steam in the Tesla infotainment system.

The announcement was made, as often with the Musk method, during an exchange on the social media Twitter with users who challenged him on Cyberpunk, 2077, a game that has previously been displayed on the infotainment system for the Model S Plaid.

Musk did not give further details.

This announcement from Musk suggests that Tesla was not demotivated by the opening of an investigation in December by regulator National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after reports emerged that drivers can play video games on the car's touchscreen while in motion.

The probe followed an investigation by The New York Times into Tesla's video game features highlighting the so-called "passenger play" option. The report stated that an update in Tesla's software package added at least three games that drivers could access while the car was in drive -- and that in a warning that appears before the game starts, Tesla signals it is aware of this and that "playing while the car is in motion is only for passengers." The outlet reports a button asks if the player is a passenger, but a driver can also play by simply touching it.

Tesla decided to disable the Passenger Play feature.
