$Tesla (TSLA.US)$ has offered video games on its touch-screens, which dominate the dashboards of its cars and are used to control many aspects of the vehicles, for several years. But the original set of games could only be played while the car was in park.
Tesla has recently been putting more work toward video games inside its vehicles with the goal to "optimize fun" with its ownership experience.
An over-the-air update this summer added solitaire and two other games that can be played by a driver or by a passenger in full view of the driver, raising questions about safety and the potential for distracting drivers from the road.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said Wednesday it is reviewing a recent software update by that allows drivers to play video games on a dashboard screen while the vehicle is moving.
"We are aware of driver concerns and are discussing the feature with the manufacturer," the agency said in a statement. "The Vehicle Safety Act prohibits manufacturers from selling vehicles with design defects posing unreasonable risks to safety.”
Tesla appeared to be aware the new games can be played while the car is in motion.
A warning shows up on the screen before the game starts that reads, "Solitaire is for everyone but playing while the car is in motion is only for passengers." The system asks for confirmation that the person seeking to play the game is a passenger, but there is nothing preventing drivers from clicking the button and starting a game.
Mooers, what do you think? Did you play video games in a Tesla before? As a driver or a passenger?
