Considered one of the pioneers of change in the automotive industry, Tesla attaches great importance to infotainment systems in its electric and autonomous cars. In fact, this situation has become such that the company has recently become the focus of criticism for allowing passengers to play certain games while the vehicle is driving. The main reason for this is that the games played from the center console can distract the drivers.
The company, which has been on the agenda with this issue almost all week, announced that it has recently cooperated with Sega and that the legendary platform game that marked a period will be added to the in-car game system. Here are the details…
1991’s Sonic the Hedgehog is coming to Tesla vehicles
Within the framework of the partnership, 1991’s Sonic the Hedhehog, one of the popular platform games of a period, will be added to Tesla’s in-car game system in the coming days. In order for Tesla owners to experience the game, it will be enough to connect a controller to the system. Since the production requires a controller, it will not be playable while driving.
The platform game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis console was released in North America, Europe and Australia on June 23, 1991, and in Japan on July 26, 1991. The production has appeared before gamers on many platforms, from modern game consoles to iPod Nano, iOS and Android, and now Tesla vehicles.
As we mentioned above, it seems healthier not to play such games while the vehicle is in motion, despite the possibility of distracting the driver. As it is known, some games in Tesla (Sky Force Reloaded, Solitaire and The Battle of Polytopia) could only be played while parked before, but as a result of an update that came in the past months, they started to be played while driving.
Tesla wants to confirm the phrase “I am a passenger” before starting the game so that this situation is not abused by the drivers. Otherwise, the game will not open. Of course, how reliable this is is also a matter of debate.
