According to a tweet from Elon Musk, they have made good progress in the integration of this platform, so they expect to have more news in September of this year.
One of the promises of autonomous vehicles is that users will be able to travel and access entertainment while on the road. Whether watching movies or enjoying a massage, these types of cars have promised to give users more time to do what they like most. In this sense, Tesla is working closely with Steam , with the aim of bringing video games to its cars.
According to Tesla CEO Elon Musk , the company is “making progress with Steam integration.” A demo is likely coming “next month,” Musk tweeted Saturday, in response to an account of Tesla owners.
However, this integration is not new, as it has long offered classic games on its screen, such as solitaire and chess, as well as some arcade titles such as Missile Command and Super Breakout.
But with the integration of Steam, Tesla has the potential to take the gaming experience to a growth of 50,000 titles, which could be another option for fans of the brand who are looking for their trips in this type of car to be increasingly 'autonomous'.
As for the technical capabilities of the cars, it is worth noting that, depending on the model, Tesla runs its entertainment system on an AMD Ryzen CPU and an AMD RDNA-2 GPU, which means that these cars are capable of running Cyberpunk 2077 without any major problem.
However, this type of experience is also linked to the advancement of autonomous vehicles, since in December 2021, the company disabled this function after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) began an investigation into whether these games are a distraction for drivers, so until it is possible to have a self-driving car, it is illegal to play video games while in your Tesla.
